Breastfeeding is never just about feeding. It’s physical, emotional, and deeply tied to your mental health.

In this episode of Let’s Thrive Postpartum, Kelly Siebold sits down with Judith Nowlin, CEO of Nest Collaborative, and Dr. Larissa Luce, Director of Clinical Services at Nest Collaborative, a Registered Dietitian, IBCLC, and certified perinatal mental health expert. Together, they explore what breastfeeding really looks like in the fourth trimester and how support can change everything.

You’ll learn:
• Why planning for breastfeeding is just as important as birth prep.
• How lactation challenges impact mental health and how to cope.
• What support partners can do that truly helps.
• How to return to work without giving up your feeding goals.
• Why being seen matters more than being perfect.

You’ll walk away with real tips and powerful reminders like how to trust your instincts and why you are doing a great job no matter what your feeding journey looks like.

Tune in and feel supported through the fourth trimester and beyond.
