Postpartum Blues: Love, Exhaustion & My Experience at 9 months

from Barefoot and Blooming · host Shayna

In this episode, I’m sharing a real, unfiltered reflection of what postpartum has felt like for me… now 9 months in.Not just the newborn phase—but everything that comes after it too.The love, the exhaustion, the overwhelm… the moments where you feel completely in it, and the moments where you wonder if you’re doing something wrong.The quiet thoughts, the comparison, the mental load, and the feeling of trying to hold everything together while still figuring it out as you go.This isn’t advice or a how-to.It’s just my experience—spoken out loud in a way that I hope helps another mom feel a little less alone in it.In this episode I touch on:– postpartum blues and emotional ups and downs– navigating motherhood without a village– the shift from newborn to later postpartum– feeling touched out, overwhelmed, and stretched– and the internal thoughts that come up when you’re deep in itIf you’ve ever found yourself thinking“why does this feel so hard?”or“am I doing something wrong?”This might be something you needed to hear today.Stay barefoot… and stay blooming 🌿
