TV Moms Lied to Us: Sleep, Pumping & Postpartum Pressure

TV Moms Lied to Us: Sleep, Pumping & Postpartum Pressure

In this episode, we’re calling out the TV version of motherhood — where babies magically sleep, moms bounce back without a breakdown, and parenting somehow fits neatly into a primetime slot.


We’re talking:


  • Why characters like Meredith Grey and Georgia Miller gave us high expectations and zero reality

  • The real-life chaos of postpartum hair loss, sleep deprivation, and being overstimulated by everything (and everyone)

  • Pumping at work, crying in bathroom stalls, and trying to still be “professional”

  • Why so many moms feel like they’re falling short — when really, we’re doing more than enough



Whether you’re weeks into postpartum or just realizing how different real mom life is from what you expected — you are not alone 💛
