In this episode of Funny in the Fire, Brittany and Katie dive headfirst into the postpartum chaos

no one fully prepares you for. From breastfeeding pressure, formula guilt, and dysphoric milk

ejection reflex, to sleep deprivation, routines that fall apart, and the very real mental load of

being the default parent — nothing is off limits.

They share raw, personal stories about deciding to stop breastfeeding, navigating societal

expectations, postpartum anxiety, and the relief (and grief) that can come with choosing what’s

best for you and your baby. Add in husbands, household dynamics, second-baby whiplash, and

the realization that sleep is… not real — and you’ve got postpartum truth served hot.

The episode wraps with the debut of our new recurring segment,

“Should I Be

Embarrassed?”

, featuring a story so unhinged it involves a honeymoon, Europe, and a loss of

bowel control (you’re welcome).

If you’ve ever questioned your choices, felt like you were failing when you absolutely weren’t, or

laughed through the mess just to survive — this episode is for you.
