Jill and Bobby share the powerful story behind the Sounds of Silence and Hope Is Here 5K events—and how something as simple as walking became a life-changing act of healing, advocacy, and community. Jill reflects on her first experience joining the 5K, what kept her from signing up for years, and how the Postpartum Resource Center of New York became a pivotal support in her own postpartum journey. Together, they open up about the ripple effect of showing up—whether it's on the beach at 8 months pregnant, holding space in conversation, or simply sharing the name of a resource another parent may need to hear.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why Jill hesitated for years before joining the 5K—and what finally got her to say yes
• How the Postpartum Resource Center of New York became part of her healing
• The emotional significance of walking while 8 months pregnant
• What it means to go from needing help to helping others
• How word-of-mouth and events like these can break the silence around postpartum struggles
• The impact of perinatal mood disorders in underrepresented communities
• Why simply showing up—imperfectly, emotionally, or tired—is more than enough

In this tender and deeply honest episode, Jill and Bobby revisit one of the most emotionally loaded questions new parents often face: “Why don’t I feel connected to my baby yet?” Drawing from a personal excerpt in Jill’s book Mama Outspoken, they open up about the fear, grief, and self-doubt that came with not bonding during pregnancy, and how postpartum experiences didn’t immediately “fix” it. Together, they explore the emotional weight of unmet expectations, the unpredictable nature of birth, and the surprising ways bonding can eventually bloom. Whether you're a parent who's been there or someone supporting one—you’ll leave this episode feeling a little less alone.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why not bonding during pregnancy is more common than we talk about
• How Jill’s cesarean birth and breastfeeding challenges shaped her early connection
• The role of COVID isolation and grief in shaping maternal expectations
• Bobby’s reflections on supporting Jill through her doubts and fears
• The emotional pivot from fear of not bonding to being “too bonded”

If you've ever questioned your bond with your baby or wrestled with the pressure to feel a certain way in motherhood—this conversation is for you. Jill and Bobby remind us that connection isn't always instant, and that's okay. Healing happens in layers, and no two journeys look the same. Whether you're in the thick of postpartum or reflecting back, this episode is a powerful permission slip to let go of timelines and lean into grace.
