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.

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...
