Mom AF

This week on Mom AF, we get real about postpartum sex, hormone chaos, pelvic floor trauma, and why being “cleared” doesn’t mean you’re ready. We kick things off with a “hear me out” debate (yes, Shrek made the list), then dive into the unfiltered truth of intimacy after baby.

Expect TMI, laughs, and all the validation you didn’t know you needed.

🔞 Trigger warning: Includes discussion of postpartum trauma, painful sex, emotional distress, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Please listen with care.

In this episode of Mom AF, Kaeli and Jess get raw and real about the emotional and physical rollercoaster that is pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. From irrational pregnancy rage ("I didn’t like him... he smelled") to tearing, episiotomies, and the fear of that first postpartum poop — they’re spilling it all.

They also break down the importance of advocating for yourself during labor, how relationships shift in pregnancy, and why pelvic floor therapy should be mandatory for every mom. This one’s packed with honesty, laughs, and the kind of real talk nobody warned you about (but definitely should have).
