What Weaning From Breastfeeding Is Teaching Me About Change

from The Mama's Bag Podcast · host Valaencia Thompson

In this episode of The Mama’s Bag Podcast, I’m sharing what it really feels like to be in transition—right in the middle of it. I talk about weaning my son after two and a half years of breastfeeding, the unexpected emotional weight, and the hormonal shifts that come with closing this chapter.I also open up about those raw, “floating” moments when everything feels overwhelming, and how leaning on therapy, journaling, my husband, and my girlfriends helps me navigate the in-between.Pull up a chair and join me as we sit together, talk honestly about motherhood, life, and change, and explore what it means to keep showing up—even when you don’t feel quite like yourself.If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you—email me or DM me on Instagram and let me know what landed.@themamasbag | @valaenciathompsonemail: [email protected]
