About this listen

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions around birth trauma and medical emergencies. Please listen with care.

We're joined again by new mom and friend of the pod, Katie Baxendale, as we continue our conversation around labor & delivery and postpartum recovery. Together, we unpack the moments that shaped us—everything from finding the courage to fire doctors who didn’t prioritize our well-being, to navigating the lingering resentment that comes from feeling betrayed by providers. We also dig into the heavy, often invisible layers of pressure and guilt that surround breastfeeding and the choices we make for our babies.


We open the door to the parts of early motherhood that rarely make it into casual conversation. These are the experiences that can feel too vulnerable to say out loud, yet become profoundly freeing once shared. Our hope is that by speaking them openly, no one has to feel alone in theirs.
