In this heartfelt solo episode, we’re diving into your most asked questions about motherhood; from hospital and home births to postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, potty training, and finding time for fitness with little ones. Sam’s sharing her personal experience with mom guilt, reconnecting with yourself after babies, support systems and marriage, and the unexpected confidence that motherhood brings.
Whether you're deep in the newborn fog, navigating toddler chaos, dreaming about future motherhood, or simply curious about what this season looks like… this one’s for the girls. A soft, honest conversation about the most important (and most stretching) role Sam’s ever stepped into.
