Just thinking about the work milestones can induce stress is many moms! Its hard not to worry and/or compare your baby to others but how much is that taking away from your ability to live in the moment with your baby and just enjoy the process? Jen and Karlee dig into what a milestone is, how accurate the "timelines" you find on the internet are, and their opinions on how much you should really worry about them.

Lets face it, self care might not look the same after you become a mom but we would argue it becomes just as important (if not more) at this point in your life. Join Jen and Karlee as they discuss how self care changed for them, ways the found self care to do with their babies and ways they found self care on their own.
