Postpartum Surprises! The Things Nobody Tells you About
Postpartum is full of surprises—and not just the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes. In this episode, Sarah dives into all the things no one warns you about after birth. From the “wait… is this normal?!” moments to the totally WTF experiences, she shares her own list of postpartum shockers and reads some of YOUR listener submissions as well. From night sweats and hormone crashes to hair loss and identity shifts, this episode covers the raw, real, and unexpected parts of postpartum that often get left out of the conversation. Whether you're in it, about to be in it, or just curious— this one’s for you!

Why is it all on Me? Managing the Mental Load of Motherhood & Making Parenting more Fair with Paige Connell
Ever feel like motherhood is a never-ending juggling act—and maybe just a tad unfair? Same.
Paige Connell (aka @sheisapaigeturner) is in the house today and we’re chatting the mental load of motherhood, gender inequality in marriage, and all the unspoken truths so many of us have felt but haven’t quite found the words to say—until now.
This conversation is raw, validating, and full of “YES, exactly!” moments. If you're a mom who's ever felt overwhelmed, under-supported, or just plain fed up, you’re going to feel SO seen. And for our male listeners, this one's for you too!
