They tell you to get ready for the baby — the nursery, the car seat, the onesies.
But no one really tells you to get ready for yourself.

For the person you’ll become after the birth.
For the tears that come out of nowhere — for both mom and dad.
For the loneliness that sneaks in even when you’re surrounded by love.
For the pressure to “get back” to your old life when deep down, you know… you’ll never be the same.

This podcast is the conversation I wish someone had with me before motherhood — the one that doesn’t sugarcoat the baby blues, the expectations, or the chaos of finding your new rhythm.

We’ll talk about birth stories that didn’t go as planned, nights that broke us open, and the slow, sacred rebuilding of who we are now.
It’s not all heavy — there’s laughter, hope, and a lot of TMI along the way — because healing happens when we stop pretending and start telling the truth.

Through honest conversations, personal stories, and expert insights, we uncover the beauty in being real, raw, and radically ourselves. This is your invitation to stop hiding, start healing, and stand proudly in the power of your authentic being.
