In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Caitlin Wilder, a doula who brings so much honesty and compassion to the postpartum space. We’re talking all about what it really looks like after baby arrives—normalizing the hard stuff, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and shifting the focus from baby gear to emotional and mental prep.
