What really happens after birth? In this powerful and honest episode, I sit down with doula and childbirth educator Caitlin Wilder to talk about the raw, unfiltered realities of postpartum life.

As mums of two with completely different journeys, we open up about breastfeeding struggles, sleepless nights, emotional ups and downs, and the challenge of finding ourselves again after birth.

Caitlin shares her heartfelt insights on hormonal shifts, relationship changes, and why communicating your needs as a new mum can make all the difference. Together, we explore the power of slowing down, asking for support, and embracing the messiness of motherhood.

If you’re pregnant, preparing for postpartum, or in the thick of those early newborn days this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. Tune in for real talk, reassurance, and a gentle reminder that it’s okay to take things one moment at a time.
