I recently joined the conversation of Two Parents & A Podcast to share not just tips, but truths. I opened by talking about my book called MILK’D and a quote that runs through its pages: “Things I wish I’d known...”

Breastfeeding challenges? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Boob Business Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on two of the most common concerns new parents face—nipple pain and milk supply confusion—and delivering the truth bombs every parent needs to hear.

Modern motherhood is full of curveballs. Between figuring out nap schedules, Googling the difference between bottle nipples, and trying to remember if you ate lunch, it’s easy to feel like you’re barely keeping up. And when it comes to feeding your baby, it’s totally normal to have a lot of questions. More Austin moms than ever are turning to virtual lactation support to get expert help without ever leaving home (or changing out of yoga pants). Whether you're prepping before baby arrives or navigating life with a newborn, Milk Diva has your back - virtually.

In Episode 48 of The Boob Business Podcast, we dive into a conversation that’s often avoided, yet deeply needed: the intersection of racism and maternal care.

If you’re nursing or pumping and wondering, “Is my baby getting enough milk?”- you’re not alone. Nearly every mom who visits us at Milk Diva has asked this question, and it’s completely understandable. In the whirlwind of early parenthood, with round-the-clock feeding, burping, swaddling, and very little sleep, it can be hard to tell how much your baby is actually taking in.

There’s a moment—sometimes quiet, sometimes desperate—when every new mom wonders: “Am I doing this right?”

Welcoming your baby into the world through a C-section is a powerful and sometimes unexpected beginning to motherhood. As you recover from surgery and adjust to life with your newborn, you might be wondering how breastfeeding fits into the picture.

This episode of The Boob Business Podcast is extra special because I decided to flip the script a little. Instead of interviewing someone else or going solo on the mic, I invited my own editor, Jessica Noel to interview me.

Nobody really talks about how emotional breastfeeding can be. It can be confusing to wonder if your baby is getting enough milk or why your body doesn’t seem to be doing what you expected. In those early postpartum days, when you're tired, sore, and unsure, the pressure to produce enough milk can feel overwhelming. At Milk Diva, we look at the whole picture because feeding your baby isn’t just mechanical. It’s deeply connected to your well-being, your baby’s development, and your unique journey.

Having a baby changes everything - from your daily routine to your entire perspective on life. But while a lot of focus goes into preparing for labor and delivery, what happens after the baby arrives often gets overlooked. Postpartum recovery isn’t just about healing physically, it’s about knowing what’s normal, what’s not, and when it’s time to ask for help.
