Today on the podcast, we're welcoming back the wonderful Alexandra Gillespie — writer, creator, and all-round powerhouse — for a catch-up that covers everything from the highs and lows of the fourth trimester to the beautiful chaos of life with three little ones.
We dive into the reality of newborn life, the emotional rollercoaster of adjusting post-pregnancy, and the honest truths that don’t make it to Instagram. We chat about the products we love, the ones we could’ve done without, and what’s helping us survive (and sometimes thrive) in this season.
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s reassuring — and we even look ahead to what’s next for Alexandra, both personally and professionally. If you’re in the thick of motherhood or just love a no-filter conversation, this episode is for you.
