Estefanía Lens shares about her experiece of Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT), a disorder that prevents sufficient milk production for successful breastfeeding. She is a wife and mother of three children ages four and under. She is originally from Uruguay, where she taught psychology to undergraduates and undertook research. She moved to the United States with her American husband in 2016. In this episode, Estefanía reflects on the ways in which IGT undermined her confidence as a new mother and how she was able to reframe her challenges and grow to become a better advocate for herself and her children, to become gentler with herself, and to become more empathetic with other women.

She shared these two Instagram accounts that have been good resources for her:
