Hospital discharge debates, domestic bliss and why is everything so hard?

07/19/23 • 46 min

Are we blaming hospital stays for poor mental health postpartum?? Would you quit your job to be home with your kids? How would you tell your friend you're pregnant after they have just experienced a loss themselves??? We answer these questions and more in today's episode.

Joy has had a difficult week with Eddy being sick and not a lot of sleep, and Caitlin has found parenting hard. We are blaming all of our strong emotions on the Cancer New Moon and are learning that everyone is just doing their best.

How has your week been? What has gone well? What hasn't??? We would love to know, come and find us on instagram and join the conversation xx
