Norfolk Wellness Podcast

In this episode of the Norfolk Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kailey Buller for a real and refreshing conversation about motherhood, support, and what it truly means to care for yourself while raising little ones.We dive into her book Surviving Tiny Humans and unpack the realities of early motherhood—the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the deep need for a “village.” Dr. Buller shares practical, honest insights on postpartum care, nurturing your nervous system, and creating rhythms that support both you and your family.This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to do it all alone, and that taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it’s essential.Whether you’re a new mom or in the thick of raising your family, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and encouraged.We’d love to see you in person.
