Vanessa, a full-time nurse anesthetist and twin mom, was drowning in stress, low milk supply, and the overwhelming demands of pumping for two premature babies. After nearly quitting, she found a support system and the tools she needed to reclaim her confidence and gain control of her milk supply.

In this honest, raw, and in-the-moment interview, Vanessa shares what it's really like being in the "messy middle" of the pumping journey — juggling work, motherhood, and the desire to keep breastfeeding. You'll hear how she went from supplementing and nearly quitting to confidently feeding her twins breast milk while returning to a demanding career.

Whether you're a twin mom, a healthcare provider, or a career-driven mom trying to figure this all out — Vanessa’s story will inspire you.
