Returning to Work After Baby: The Hidden Struggles
There’s the version of motherhood we’re shown:Perfect photos. A smiling baby. A mom who seems to do it all.
And then there’s the version no one talks about:The silence when your partner goes back to work.The guilt of replying to emails while your newborn cries.The tears when breastfeeding feels impossible — and you blame yourself.
In this episode, I sit with Wanda — founder, speech therapist, and new mom — to talk about what really happens when career and motherhood collide.
This raw, unscripted conversation explores identity, guilt, the myth of balance, and the unspoken weight of keeping a business alive while your body is still healing. Most of all, it’s about why the hardest part of motherhood is often asking for help.
💛 If you’re in the thick of it, mama, this one’s for you.
