    S2E7 17 Diapers: Postpartum Survival, Mom-Shaming, and the Power of Vulnerability

    This week, we dive into the viral moment that sparked a wave of conversation among moms everywhere. It all started when Hannah, a newly postpartum mom of two, shared a raw, unfiltered video of herself collecting 17 diapers scattered around her home after a long day of solo parenting.

You never know what someone is really going through—whether it's birth trauma, postpartum depression, anxiety, or a complete lack of support. We'll unpack the harmful effects of mom-shaming and share how this viral moment unexpectedly turned into a beautiful movement of support, as other moms began sharing their own “17 diapers” stories. From postpartum mental health struggles to the pressure of keeping up a perfect image, this episode is a reminder that moms need more support, not more criticism.
