Postpartum is one of the most life-altering seasons of motherhood, and yet it is often one of the most overlooked.

In today’s episode I’m joined by Courtney Boylan, mom of three and founder of Le Lolo, a brand created from her own postpartum experience and the deep realization that so many moms are left feeling unseen, unsupported, and treated more like a checklist than a human being.

Courtney and I talk about the emotional reality of postpartum, the identity shift that happens after birth, and why moms need more than clinical advice. They need reassurance, community, and reminders that they still matter.

This conversation is honest, validating, and full of the kind of support every mom deserves in the early days.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What postpartum really feels like and why it can be so isolating
• The identity shift that happens after becoming a mom
• Why postpartum support often feels too clinical and not personal enough
• The emotional and mental load moms carry in the early days
• How we can better support moms beyond asking “How’s the baby?”
• Encouragement for the mom who feels lost, invisible, or overwhelmed
• What Courtney wishes someone had told her during postpartum
• How Courtney’s experience led her to create Le Lolo

If you’re in postpartum right now

This episode is your reminder that you are not alone, you are not failing, and you still matter.

Have you ever had a random, scary thought pop into your head and immediately wondered, What is wrong with me?
You’re not alone — and you’re not a bad mom.

In this episode I break down intrusive thoughts in motherhood: why they happen, what they actually mean (and don’t mean), and how they show up in different stages — from brand-new moms to moms of teens.

We’re talking about the thoughts no one wants to admit out loud, why our brains create them, and what to do when one sneaks in and sends your anxiety spiraling. This is a reassuring, judgment-free conversation meant to help you breathe a little easier and feel less alone.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What intrusive thoughts are — and why they feel so alarming
• Why motherhood puts our brains into overprotective mode
• Intrusive thought examples from different stages of motherhood:
  • New moms & babies
  • Toddlers and little kids
  • School-age kids
  • Teens
• The biggest mistakes moms make when intrusive thoughts show up
• What actually helps when a scary thought pops into your head
• When intrusive thoughts are a sign to seek extra support

Key Takeaway

Intrusive thoughts are not intuition, desires, or predictions. They’re a misfiring protection system — and the fact that they bother you is actually a sign of how much you care.
