In this special collaboration episode, I’m joined by Jessica Lamb, the host of The Mama Making Podcast, to dive deep into all the things we wish we had known before entering the fourth trimester/postpartum period. From the realities of mental health to the importance of support systems, we’re sharing our personal experiences and lessons learned to help new and expecting moms feel more prepared for life after birth.

Jessica, based in Chicago, is not only a passionate mom to her 18-month-old Bode (Bo-dee) and two dogs, but also an inspiring voice in the motherhood community. On her podcast, she hosts empowering conversations about pregnancy, postpartum, and everything in between—providing the space new moms need to thrive.

Tune in as we discuss practical tips for surviving postpartum, the crucial role of self-care, and what we wish someone had told us about those early months. Whether you're expecting or already navigating motherhood, this episode offers real advice and relatable stories to help you through the journey.

🎙️ The Mama Making Podcast is your go-to resource for honest conversations on motherhood, featuring expert advice, new mom tips, and real-life stories. Join us each Tuesday for supportive discussions on self-care, mental health, and the beautiful, messy reality of motherhood.

In this episode, we’re joined by Taylor Westenberger, a mom of two and passionate advocate for baby-led sleep. Taylor opens up about her personal journey with her first child’s sleep struggles and how misinformation and unrealistic expectations made it the toughest part of her early motherhood. Now, with a 3-year-old son and a 10-month-old daughter, Taylor shares how she discovered the power of trusting her intuition and respecting her baby’s biological need for connection.

We dive into the importance of understanding normal infant sleep, why baby-led sleep promotes a deeper bond, and how moms can empower themselves to embrace connection over rigid sleep training methods. Taylor offers advice for mothers who want to honor their baby's needs while finding peace in their own parenting journey. Tune in to explore how a softer, more connected approach can transform your experience as a mom.
