About this listen

Motherhood comes with an unspoken pressure to do it right, and to look like you're handling it all with grace.

In this episode of Whispers of Milk and Motherhood, we explore what happens when motherhood quietly turns into a performance. From feeding choices and sleep schedules to postpartum bodies and emotional expectations, this conversation gently unpacks the weight of comparison, perfectionism and feeling watched... by others and by ourselves.

Together, we name how cultural expectations, social media and "shoulds" can pull us away from our intuition, and we offer a compassionate reminder: you are not failing... you are mothering!

This episode is an invitation to soften the rules, release the performance, and return to what actually matters: connection, presence and care... for your baby and for yourself.

Settle in and listen.
