07/28/24 • 43 min

Welcome back to Brunch with Desb! In this episode, we’re diving into the real and raw aspects of postpartum recovery.

Join me as I share my personal journey through the ups and downs of healing after childbirth, tackling intrusive thoughts, and finding ways to cope with them. We’ll also sprinkle in some light-hearted conversation and catch up on all the little things Vanderpump Rules, reality TV, and brand reviews.. plus an update on our favorite girly, B Mahomes!

This episode is all about creating a safe, comforting space where you can feel at home, understood, and supported. Whether you’re in the midst of your own PP experience or just here to listen and connect, we hope you leave feeling a bit lighter and more connected.

Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s chat about the realness of postpartum life with warmth, empathy, and a touch of humor. You’re not alone on this journey—let’s navigate it together.
