Summary
In today’s solo episode, I’m spiraling and getting real about leaving my baby for the first time (cue: emotional whiplash), the absolute chaos that is my breastfeeding/pumping “schedule” (or lack thereof), and how—by some miracle—I ended up with a baby who actually sleeps. Is it luck? Is it skill? I truly don’t know, but we’ll unpack it all. If you’ve ever felt excited, guilty, anxious, and confused all at once…this one’s for you. Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices.
