Welcome to Bite Hard - The podcast for the girls who feel everything deeply. 

Episode 4: Postpartum - When You're Running on Love & No Sleep

This episode is for every mum who's ever wondered...

"Why does everyone else seem to be coping better than me?"

Because the truth is... they're probably wondering the exact same thing.

In this episode, I'm opening up about one of the hardest seasons of my life. We talk about sleep deprivation, postpartum mental health, the emotional toll of having a baby with severe reflux, and what it feels like when you're surviving on broken sleep and pure love.

I share the reality of caring for a baby who's in pain, the frustration of not feeling heard, the guilt of trying to split yourself between two children, and how exhaustion can quietly change every part of your life—including your relationship.

We also talk about the parts of postpartum that don't get enough airtime: the loneliness, the comparison, the physical changes no one warns you about, and the moments that are so chaotic you have no choice but to laugh.

This isn't an episode about having all the answers.

It's about reminding you that if you're in the thick of it, you're not failing.

You're surviving.

And sometimes, that's more than enough.

Topics discussed:
• Postpartum mental health
• Sleep deprivation
• Infant reflux
• Parenting a baby who won't sleep
• Mum guilt
• Life with a toddler and a baby
• Relationship changes after children
• Postpartum recovery
• The realities of motherhood
• Finding humour in the hard days

If you're listening while rocking a baby, driving in silence for five minutes of peace, or wondering whether anyone else feels the way you do...

This episode is for you 🤍
