  • Postpartum Can Be Peaceful
    Jan 19 2026

    Postpartum is often spoken about through the lens of struggle, exhaustion, and survival — and while that experience is real and valid, it isn’t the only one.


    In this episode, I share my personal postpartum experience — one rooted in peace, joy, and deep support. I talk openly about the fear-based narratives surrounding postpartum, how constant “warnings” can shape expectations, and why having a truly supportive partner changed everything for me.


    This conversation is not meant to dismiss postpartum depression or the very real challenges many mothers face. It exists to widen the narrative — to make space for joy, softness, and the possibility that postpartum doesn’t have to be something we survive.


    If you’re a new parent, an expecting parent, or someone navigating life after a major transition, this episode is an invitation to breathe, reflect, and remember that more than one truth can exist at the same time.

  • Becoming Me Again ... As Someone New
    Jan 2 2026

    Coming back to the mic looks different now — because I’m different.


    In this season premiere, I talk about returning to podcasting after becoming a mother, navigating the tension between giving my daughter all of me while still honoring who I am, and learning how to hold both identities without losing myself.


    This episode isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about acknowledging the shift, embracing the growth, and allowing myself to evolve out loud.


    Welcome to The Soft Rebirth.

    This is me, becoming myself again… as someone new.
