Welcome back to Brunch with Desb! Today I am so excited to share that I am officially done breastfeeding! While I thought I would be upset at not being able to make it to the 12-month mark, I’m so proud of myself for making it to the 10-month mark. Besides this, I’ve already noticed a shift in my mood, so for any mamas out there, this is your PSA to do what’s best for your mental health because that’s what will ultimately lead you to being a better mom. 

In this episode, I want to talk to you about embracing the natural. As I inch closer to my 28th birthday, I’ve come to realize just how tired I am of fake, whether it be fake nails, fake hair extensions, and, yes, even my fake boobs. What made me come to this realization, you ask? The one and only Martina McBride and her incredible song, “This One’s for the Girls.” Along with many other things, this song really made me think about how much we, as women, believe we aren’t good enough. We constantly question ourselves, degrade ourselves, or even wonder why we aren’t pretty or skinny enough. I hate that we are naturally inclined not to be kind to ourselves and while we may never stop comparing ourselves to one another, it’s important to recognize when this is happening and to remember just how special and beautiful we all are. 

Remember, time goes by way too fast to care too much. So embrace your natural self and be appreciative of your natural beauty. Ten years from now, it won’t matter if you didn’t have your nails done for a couple of weeks. What will matter is the legacy you’re leaving behind and that may mean shifting priorities, but that’s okay. In fact, it’s why I’m thinking of having my fake boobs removed. If you are looking for a nose job, breast implants, or any other cosmetic surgery that’s totally okay, I’m not here to judge. Just please don’t keep chasing this idea that you aren’t good enough.

Welcome back to Brunch with Desb! Today I want to talk about the piping hot tea that is Gomez vs. Bieber. I’m sure you’ve heard all about the rumored feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber and while I’ve yet to do all of my research on the topic, I will say that it’s pretty sad that it’s come down to girl vs. girl. Stay tuned because I will be sharing my thoughts in the near future.

Besides this, I also want to keep it real and give you a little mental health update. With my husband Wyatt just out of surgery, my struggles with breastfeeding, and a ton of work on my plate, your girl had a mental breakdown at the gym this past week while listening to Linkin Park’s Shadow of The Day - iykyk. And so, I’m sharing this because I want you to know that if you’re having a rough week, you’re certainly not alone. I’m also trying to find a balance between it all and while it may seem like I can do it all, I struggle too.

Last but not least, this is a Tell Me A Secret episode and you don’t want to miss it because we’re diving deep into all of your nitty gritty secrets including having sex at a friends house, hooking up with two different people in the same night, suspecting a partner of cheating, and so much more!

If you want to share a deep, dark secret with me, hit up the link below and don’t worry because everyone remains anonymous!

Welcome back to Brunch with Desb! Today, I am so excited to just talk to you guys and give you some updates on what I’ve been going through lately, including my journey with breastfeeding and postpartum.

In this episode, I’ll share my struggle with trying to decide whether to stop breastfeeding as well as the physical and mental toll it’s taken on me. I always want to keep it real with you, so if you’re a new mom and struggling with breastfeeding - or maybe you’re about to give birth and aren’t sure what to expect - please know that you aren’t alone! Besides this, I’ll give you a quick little recap of how I met my husband, Wyatt. Why? Because I want to talk about how different times in your life are going to yield a different you. You aren’t going to be the same person at 30 that you were at 25 and that’s why it’s important to be able to grow with your partner. If you’re in a long-distance relationship or are struggling having those tough conversations with your partner, this one's for you.

Lastly, I’ll dive into some new Tula, Paragon, Stori, and BuffBunny reviews for you as well as share my thoughts on the new season of You and the new Last of Us episodes. And, if you’re interested in a potential Brunch with Desb vacation, please head on over to my Instagram and let me know! Let’s get to know each other even better!

Welcome back to Brunch with Desb! Today, I am excited to welcome Rachel Shepard, a.k.a Hey, Sleepy Baby to the show! Rachel, a sleep specialist and mom of three, has a Bachelor's and a Masters in Elementary and Special Education, and has worked as a K-5 teacher and Education Specialist over the last 9 years. When her first baby was born in 2017, she became obsessed with his lack of sleep. Her own sleep deprivation and the outside pressure to get his sleep under control had her struggling with undiagnosed postpartum anxiety. The messages she was receiving from friends, family, coworkers, doctors, and social media made her think she was doing everything wrong. All of the pressure led her to try sleep training, which did not work out, so she surrendered and let it go. 

In this episode, Rachel will tell us what inspired her to become a sleep specialist, the sleep techniques she’s used on her children, and some of the resources she offers to parents. Then, we’ll dive into the idea of baby-led sleeping vs. sleep training, including:

• Contact napping and trying to get things done while baby is sleeping

• Wake windows

• Things you can do during the day that may help yours and your baby’s sleep

• Whether there is a correlation between breastfeeding and your baby not wanting to sleep

• Nursing to sleep

Last but not least, we’ll also touch on postpartum anxiety, including the sunset scaries, and the importance of doing your own research and doing what’s best for you and your baby. Remember that you have choices!

To learn more from Rachel, visit her website here: https://heysleepybaby.com/ or find her on social media: @heysleepybaby on Instagram and @heysleepybaby on TikTok.

It's okay to rest. It's okay to take a break. It's okay to take a week off from the gym. Here is your permission if you've been waiting for someone to tell you to take a deep breathe… and chill out for a bit.
