In this episode, the Lady Birds 🐦✨ have an honest conversation about the day-to-day realities of postpartum life: the overwhelm, the constant juggle between work and parenting, and the guilt that sneaks in no matter what you choose. From laundry piles and late-night scrolling to how we divide household tasks and protect the time we have with our babies — we’re talking through it all.
💬 Why “doing it all” is a lie (and why we stopped trying)
🍼 The beautiful + exhausting mess of new motherhood
👕 Living out of clean and dirty laundry piles (just us?)
📱 Guilt over doomscrolling
🧼 Splitting chores vs. savoring family time
💪 What we’ve actually managed to keep doing for ourselves
🧠 The hormonal rollercoaster of breastfeeding (even when you don’t love it)
🤯 Why bathtime requires two adults minimum for the first child at least
Basically, if you’ve ever cried while looking at baby photos two minutes after bedtime…this one’s for you. 😭🧡
