Welcome back to Talkin' about the Taboo!!!






    We romanticize the bump and glamorize the birth, but what happens after the baby arrives? In this raw and radically honest episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the fourth trimester—the messy, emotional, beautiful, and often overlooked season of postpartum.

    I sit down with a powerhouse guest who wears multiple hats: birth doula, lactation consultant, and postpartum doula, oh and soon to be nurse!

    Together, we unpack everything from sore nipples and perineal stitches to mental health, identity shifts, and the awkward, tender path back to intimacy.

    No fluff, no filters—just real talk about what your body, your baby, and your relationships actually go through after childbirth.

    Whether you’re preparing for postpartum or still healing from it years later, this episode validates your experience and gives you tools, truths, and a whole lot of permission to not be okay all the time.


    Highlights include:

    • Why postpartum care should start before the baby is born

    • The myth of “natural” breastfeeding

    • Navigating body image, sex, and self-worth after birth

    • How to advocate for yourself (and others) in a system's that are often overlooked in Womens Research
