Navigating the tumultuous waters of new motherhood, I found myself clinging to the notion that I wasn't alone in this journey. With every sleepless night and hormonal wave, my relationship with my partner felt the strain—as I'm sure many of you can relate. I'm peeling back the layers of this often unspoken reality, sharing stories and insights that recognize the profound impact of postpartum changes on both personal and relationship health. Understanding these trials is integral, and I'm here to offer that empathetic ear.
Through candid conversations about the critical importance of recognizing the changes your body is going through combined with sleep deprivation, I'm spotlighting the necessity for new moms to put their well-being on the priority list.
