    Postpartum Talks: Carolina Talks - “Horrendous” On Navigating Hormonal and Breastfeeding Challenges and Being Kind to Yourself

    In this episode, I sit down with Carolina, who gave birth thousands of miles away from her family in Chile. She shares the stark contrast between her birth experience, long, unexpected, but deeply supported, and her postpartum journey, which she vulnerably describes as horrendous. From breastfeeding struggles in the very first days to the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum hormones and the weight of feeling judged while being far from home, Carolina opens up about it all. Together, we discuss the pressure to do everything "right," how to navigate criticism, and what it truly means to advocate for yourself during one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this honest conversation is a powerful reminder that you're not alone.
