n this episode of Nightclubs to Night Feeds, Krystal Bee, Nicole Garcia, and Kristine Rodriguez sit down with actress and multihyphenate Jessica M Garcia (On My Block, How to Get Away with Murder) for a raw and hilarious deep dive into the realities of millennial motherhood.
Jess shares the gripping story of her five-day induction during COVID, detailing the physical and emotional toll of a 120-hour labor complicated by high blood pressure and invasive medical procedures. The conversation shifts to the often-unspoken struggles of the "fourth trimester," as Jess opens up about her experience with undiagnosed postpartum OCD and the "scary" intrusive thoughts that can consume a new parent's mind.
