What happens when the vision of breastfeeding unravels in ways no one prepares you for? In this episode of The Mom Powered Life, Stephania sits down with her friend Jerica Malone, a pediatric nurse and mom to a 21-month-old. They dive into a vulnerable conversation about expectations, identity, and the complicated emotions that can come with the unspoken side of early motherhood. 

Jerica shares how her breastfeeding journey quickly spiraled from hopeful, to heartbreaking. Together, she and Stephania reflect on what it means to trust your gut as a mom, to grieve the picture you had in your head, and to know when it’s time to let go of something. This is so much more than a conversation on breastfeeding, it’s a glimpse into the quiet battles so many moms face and the courage it takes to push through, pivot, and trust.
