Patty and Michaela explore the idea that everything will go perfectly according to your birth plan. Many women map out every aspect of how they’ll approach motherhood, but once the baby arrives, those plans often shift. From breastfeeding to formula decisions, and the products you thought were essential, it’s common to feel like you’re not measuring up if things don’t unfold as you imagined.

They discuss the pressures mothers face today, including the need for early child care options much sooner than what was expected 20-30 years ago.

Michaela and Patty discuss the dark cloud of PPA, PPD and PPR and all that come with it.

Reflecting on both postpartum experiences through COVID and adding new babies to their families the mom friends discuss what it was like to navigate those early days with deep touches of the different mood disorders that accompany the massive hormonal shift that takes place after a woman gets pregnant and gives birth.

With a light and dark humor for both instances the ladies explain what is completely normal when exploring the new body and mind that is born into a woman when she becomes a mother.
