Beyond the Baby Phase: A 14-Month Postpartum Check-In with Harriet

What happens when the "new baby" check-ins stop, but you still feel like you’re finding your footing? In this season premiere of Dam Parenting, Eva reunites with early guest Harriet for an honest, 14-month postpartum check-in. We move past the newborn haze to take a warm and direct look at the long-term emotional recovery and identity shifts that happen well after the first year.Together, they reflect on the gap between expectation and reality, the unexpected joys of toddlerhood, and the parts of maternal Matrescence that no one prepares you for. This isn't just a catch-up; it’s a raw window into the ongoing journey of becoming a mother in the Netherlands. Whether you are currently navigating the 12-month mark or looking back from further down the road, this episode is a reminder to pause, relate, and breathe. The transformation is still happening, and you’re doing better than you think.You can find Harriet on Instagram here
