When Feeding Breaks You: Deena’s Raw Postpartum Story
About this episode
This week, Deena is back and she’s deep in the newborn trenches. From mastitis and clogged ducts to guilt, shame, and the constant hum of the pump, she opens up about the raw, unfiltered reality of feeding her baby and trying to stay afloat. If you’ve ever felt crushed by the pressure to “do it right,” cried over a bottle, or wondered when it’s okay to stop, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Because the truth is simple: a fed baby and a cared-for mom are what really matter.
