🎙️ New Podcast Episode Out Now 🎙️
🎧 Rest Is Not a Luxury: Sleep, Pregnancy, and Life After Baby
During National Sleep Awareness Week, we brought an honest and powerful conversation about sleep during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. This episode centers community voices, NICU family experiences, and the reality that rest is essential to health, not something parents should have to earn.
In this episode, we talk about:
* The real impact of sleep deprivation during pregnancy and postpartum
* Supporting rest through partners, family, and community
* Sleep challenges for families with babies in the NICU
* Personal experiences from stay‑at‑home and working parents
A quick note for our listeners: Due to technical issues, this episode includes some audio glitches that could not be fully edited. We appreciate your grace, these moments do not take away from the heart and impact of the conversation. A special thank you to Mr. Delmar of for lending editing assistance where possible.
Listen, share this episode with a parent or support person in your life, and help us continue normalizing rest as care.
