Becoming a parent changes everything… your body, your sleep, your relationship, your identity.
But for many mothers, that transformation also brings something much heavier: an invisible weight that few dare to name.
This isn’t another “baby blues” conversation.
It’s a compassionate, science-backed exploration of what really happens when hormones crash, sleep disappears, and expectations collide with human limits.
Through powerful stories and practical tools, I invite you to replace shame with understanding and to see these struggles not as weakness, but as the body and mind’s way of asking for care.
Whether you’re a mother, partner, or simply someone who wants to understand what new parents truly go through, this episode will help you see that healing after birth is not about bouncing back, it’s about moving forward.
Today we explore:
This episode is your gentle reminder that survival is love in action and that every parent deserves to feel supported, not judged.
