In today’s solo episode, I’m spiraling and getting real about leaving my baby for the first time (cue: emotional whiplash), the absolute chaos that is my breastfeeding/pumping “schedule” (or lack thereof), and how—by some miracle—I ended up with a baby who actually sleeps. Is it luck? Is it skill? I truly don’t know, but we’ll unpack it all. If you’ve ever felt excited, guilty, anxious, and confus...

Hi my beautiful girlies. Today we have a fun little concept I invented where we talk about themes/lessons I’ve been noticing these past couple of months, but package it up in a fun little way by making all of them randomly start with the letter T (just go with it, k??).  We talk about how it’s pointless to try to time things out perfectly, how you need to just get out and do sh*t with you baby, th...

Tamara is a longtime listener (and overall mom and business woman baddie) who reached out to me from the trenches of postpartum while quite literally nursing her 3-month old daughter, because she wanted to represent all the real city moms out there who are simply surviving (and sometimes even thriving).

We’re going from dog parents to human parents, which is a huge adjustment for the entire household.
