In this episode of the Breastfeeding With Confidence podcast, I sit down with Emily Rose—songwriter, mother of two, and the honest voice behind Mouths to Feed—to unpack the story behind her music, motherhood journey, and mission to normalize the raw, beautiful, messy truths of postpartum life.

We talk about the isolation that so many new moms face, how Emily’s own experience with postpartum depression shaped her songwriting, and why her viral lyrics are resonating with mothers everywhere. From dealing with oversupply and conflicting advice to navigating the impossible standards of balancing a music career and motherhood, this conversation is a breath of fresh air—and a rally cry for visibility and support.

🎙 In this episode, we dive into:

• Why Emily wrote Mouths to Feed and how it became a viral anthem for breastfeeding mothers

• The emotional rollercoaster of postpartum depression and the power of honest storytelling

• How music can be a tool for healing, community, and challenging harmful motherhood narratives

• The hidden grief of breastfeeding regrets and why preparation in pregnancy matters

• Oversupply, misinformation, and why it’s hard to ask for help even when you're drowning

• The culture of “bounce back” and how celebrity motherhood distorts real expectations

• The kind of support new moms actually need—and what’s still missing

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just tired of seeing motherhood misrepresented in the media, this episode will hit home.
