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.
