Season 2, Ep 3: Two boobs. Two babies. One sleep-deprived mom with a spreadsheet full of milk data. In this episode, Purvi takes us inside her chaotic, emotional, and surprisingly hilarious breastfeeding journey with premature twin boys.

We cover:

• Pumping 9–10 times a day (yes, really)

• Tandem feeding fails and twin Z pillow wins

• The pressure to “exclusively breastfeed”—and what happened when mastitis hit

• Formula guilt, clogged ducts, and the great European formula rabbit hole

• Why fed is best—and your mental health matters more than any number of ounces

This one’s for the twin moms in the trenches, the pumping warriors, and anyone questioning if they’re doing enough. You are.

Season 2, Ep 2: There’s the body you had before baby. And then there’s the body that survived birth, surgery, sleepless nights, and somehow—kept tiny human(s) alive.

In this episode, we’re talking about the weird, real, and beautiful changes that happen to our bodies after birth, including:

• Night sweats, phantom cries, and postpartum hair loss

• C-section scars, stretch marks, and the mental spiral of “getting your body back”

• How we slowly started feeling human again (think sunshine, Peloton rides, shower bombs, and FaceTime workouts)

This one’s for every mom caught between grieving her old self and growing into something new. You’re not broken. You’re just becoming.

Season 2, Ep 1: No one warned us that the fourth trimester would feel like being reborn and slightly wrecked at the same time. You’re stitched, swollen, sobbing at everything, and somehow still keeping a little newborn baby alive.

In this kickoff to Season 2, we’re talking about the raw reality of those first 8 postpartum weeks, including:• Physical recovery

• Emotional recovery

• What helped us feel vaguely human again

This one’s for the moms deep in the fog—healing, holding, and hanging on. You’re not crazy. You’re in the f*ing fourth trimester.
