The Realities of Life After Having a Baby That No One Tells You

The Realities of Life After Having a Baby That No One Tells You

Author: Jeanine Amapola November 11, 2025 Duration: 56:00
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about my journey through postpartum and five months of being a mama. Motherhood is beautiful, but WOW, it’s also the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I open up about sleep deprivation, my hair falling out, pumping and breastfeeding struggles, how this season has changed my marriage, and why sometimes just getting through the day feels like a major win. 😅 If you're a mom, a mom-to-be, or even just want to understand what this stage of life has looked like for me, I hope you feel seen and encouraged by this chat.
