Description
When you become a mom, you expect your life to change, but too little discussed are the changes that happen within you after having a baby. Getting to know yourself as a mother is a long, nonlinear journey that can simultaneously be the happiest you've ever been and the loneliest you've ever felt - but you don't have to do it alone.
I'm Melissa Wirt, mother-of-six, certified lactation consultant, and CEO & Founder of Latched Mama. Join me as I attempt to bring community back to motherhood through shared experiences, vulnerability, advice, and humor. With the help of expert guests, members of the Latched Mama community, and more often than not, my bff Lindi, we'll explore how support for one another can help us reach our best version of motherhood, whatever that looks like for you.
