In Mother Words | Conversations on Motherhood with Steph Ting

Returning to Work After Baby: The Hidden Struggles


Listen Later

There’s the version of motherhood we’re shown:

Perfect photos. A smiling baby. A mom who seems to do it all.

And then there’s the version no one talks about:

The silence when your partner goes back to work.
The guilt of replying to emails while your newborn cries.
The tears when breastfeeding feels impossible — and you blame yourself.

In this episode, I sit with Wanda — founder, speech therapist, and new mom — to talk about what really happens when career and motherhood collide.

This raw, unscripted conversation explores identity, guilt, the myth of balance, and the unspoken weight of keeping a business alive while your body is still healing. Most of all, it’s about why the hardest part of motherhood is often asking for help.

💛 If you’re in the thick of it, mama, this one’s for you.
