244: Recovered & Rambling: I'm Back (Sort Of): Shannon's Birth Story & Postpartum Update

How is he a month old already?!

I genuinely don't know. It has been over a month since I've sat down at this mic, and even longer since I've sat down with Brittany, and in this episode we're finally catching up on everything, my labor and delivery with Colin, the scary shoulder dystocia moment that I will genuinely never get out of my head, and what this last month of postpartum has actually been like.

I get into how different this whole experience has felt going from one kid to two versus the sheer terror of going from zero to one. We talk about breastfeeding and oversupply (again) and sleep deprivation and the very real challenge of trying to take care of a newborn while also making sure Amelia doesn't feel like she got completely deprioritized.

I also get honest about the boredom of these early newborn weeks, the identity shift, and how even a solid relationship gets tested when a baby enters the picture. And through basically all of it, I keep coming back to the same thing I talk about in my own recovery and with so many of you: control. What I can't control, what I don't need to control, and just how much more peaceful it is when I actually let that go.

This one's a ramble in the best way. Grab your coffee, or your baby carrier, and let's catch up.

Also in this episode: an update on my coaching community and Panic to Peace, which is opening again in a couple of months!

Just a little reminder, even though I've been quieter on social, I'm still so here for you in all the ways that matter. Here's where to find me and get some support while I'm easing back in:
