About this listen

Hi, welcome to Dounii Talks! Today, we’re joined by the thoughtful and deeply honest Ale, who shares what it was like to be laid off, move cross-country, and find out she was pregnant — all at the same time.

We talk about what happens when the excitement you're “supposed” to feel… just isn't there. Ale opens up about feeling disconnected from her baby during pregnancy, the guilt that came with it, and the personal work it took to reconnect — not just with her baby, but with herself.

We also get into the beauty and complexity of receiving help from family, and how Ale learned to set boundaries in order to protect her new identity and her growing family. It’s a conversation full of nuance, growth, and so many quiet truths about becoming a parent.
