Episode 151. Welcome to part 2 of Kirsten’s conversation with Dr. Noa Sterling, mom of three and board-certified ObGyn with a mission to transform the pregnancy and postpartum journey. Dr. Sterling is also the founder of Sterling Parents, the first membership designed to truly address the emotional and mental load of pregnancy.
Dr. Sterling talks about what it's like in those early days postpartum, highlighting the importance of being kind to yourself — because self-compassion is truly a superpower. She talks about the challenges of breastfeeding and what you can expect in those early weeks, along with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.
They also discuss the Hug It Out Method, a powerful tool for couples navigating the stresses of a newborn, and how embracing the chaos is part of the experience. Seeing the world through the lens of a parent for the first time can feel overwhelming, and remember: there’s no pressure for the birth process to be a picture-perfect experience. Parenthood is messy, real, and beautifully imperfect — and that’s exactly how it’s meant to be. Tune in to this week's episode to hear insights, struggles, and plenty of love on this wild ride called parenthood!
Dr. Sterling is launching a pregnancy app in Summer 2025!
