This week, we dive into the viral moment that sparked a wave of conversation among moms everywhere. It all started when Hannah, a newly postpartum mom of two, shared a raw, unfiltered video of herself collecting 17 diapers scattered around her home after a long day of solo parenting. What followed was a flood of harsh, judgmental comments in the thread, shaming her for not "having it together."

In this episode, we talk about our own postpartum experiences, the reality of being in survival mode, and why what we see online is only a tiny glimpse of someone's life. You never know what someone is really going through—whether it's birth trauma, postpartum depression, anxiety, or a complete lack of support. We'll unpack the harmful effects of mom-shaming and share how this viral moment unexpectedly turned into a beautiful movement of support, as other moms began sharing their own “17 diapers” stories.

From postpartum mental health struggles to the pressure of keeping up a perfect image, this episode is a reminder that moms need more support, not more criticism. Tune in for an honest conversation that highlights the importance of vulnerability and community during one of the most challenging times in a parent's life.
