If you’re tired of all-or-nothing sobriety messaging, sick of the shame spiral around drinking, or curious about Dry January alternatives, this podcast offers a compassionate, empowering approach to change. Each episode blends real talk, science-backed insights, and practical tools to help you understand why you drink, how to reduce overdrinking, and how to reconnect with yourself—without labels, rock bottoms, or giving up your social life.

It’s not eight weeks. And it definitely doesn’t end once you’re “cleared” at your follow-up appointment. In this episode of the ShameOver Podcast , I’m joined by Shauna, the Mystic Herbal Doula , for an honest, eye-opening conversation about what postpartum really looks like — and why so many women feel blindsided, overwhelmed, and unsupported after having a baby. We talk about why postpartum is a lifelong chapter, not a short recovery window, and how the lack of education, preparation, and support leaves mothers feeling like they’re failing — when in reality, they were never given the tools they needed. This conversation dives deep into: Why postpartum hormones can feel like pre-menopause overnight The cultural pressure to “bounce back” and why it’s harming women How comparison and unrealistic expectations make postpartum harder Why nutrition is foundational to recovery, mood, and long-term health The connection between postpartum depletion, blood sugar, cravings, and coping behaviors like alcohol Why Western culture fails mothers — and what we can learn from other traditions Whether you’re newly postpartum, years into motherhood, or simply wondering why things felt harder than you expected after having kids, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and less alone. Postpartum isn’t something to rush through — it’s something to be supported through. 👉 Part two of this conversation goes even deeper into nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and building a supportive village — so be sure to listen to both episodes.
