In this episode I speak with Sheridan, who is mum to toddler Elle and  also pregnant with number two. Sheridan shares the challenges she experienced adjusting to becoming a mum and the unrealistic expectations she placed on herself thanks to social media. She shares her experience of breastfeeding including why she exclusively pumped for 13 months and why it didn’t help her mental health when people praised her for the effort. Sheridan offers some insightful advice around what you could do if you see someone pumping like she was and why it’s ok to give yourself permission to stop.

Sheridan also spoke about how being in the health and fitness industry impacted the pressures she felt to ‘bounce back’ and what she expected her experience would look like, vs what it was.
