In this episode of Mama Becoming: Birth & Beyond, I speak with Kate about her postpartum experience following the birth of her daughter, Sophia.

Kate opens up about the emotional highs and lows of new motherhood, her unexpected breastfeeding challenges, and how critical support and mental well-being were during her recovery.

From hospital discharge to settling in at home, this conversation explores what so many new parents go through but don’t always talk about — the vulnerability, the doubt, and the beauty of getting through it, one day at a time.

If you're navigating early motherhood, planning for postpartum, or looking for real, unfiltered stories — this one’s for you.
