Send us a text


In this episode, host Lina Forrestal and blogger Jamie Devergillo
chat all things coming back from maternity leave, postpartum
anxiety, body image, and what it's like to be a mom sharing it
all on social media. 

Jamie shares practical tips in how she's preparing to go back to
work, from practicing leaving the house to leaving a detailed
schedule for her caretakers. She discusses how she and her
husband made childcare decisions and the feelings of anxiety
around having someone else care for her baby. 

Lina and Jamie both talk about what it's like to have a following
on social media: from how supportive and yet toxic the community
can be. They talk about facing judgement, setting boundaries, and
how everyone parents differently.
