  • Ep. 19; Diapers, Bathing and Soothing- The daily grind
    Jul 6 2025

    In this episode of Parenting Unplugged, we’re diving headfirst into the beautifully messy (and sometimes just messy) routines that fill our early parenting days — diapers, bath time, and soothing… on repeat.

    We kick things off with quick stories from our newborn days — the diaper blowouts, slippery baby baths, and soothing fails that still haunt us (or make us laugh).

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Diaper Diaries – cloth vs. disposable, rash remedies, and how we found humor in the chaos
    • Bath Time Battles – routine tips and tricks
    • Soothing in the Storm – the invisible labor of comforting a baby, the mental load, and why soothing yourself matters too

    You’ll hear our honest confessions, favorite products, and those “I can’t believe that happened” moments. This one’s for the parents doing it all – every single day.

    Gentle reminder: You’re not doing it wrong. It’s just hard. And you’re doing an amazing job.

  • Ep. 16; Visitors, Boundaries, and Saying No Without Guilt
    May 25 2025

    Welcoming a new baby is powerful — and so is protecting your peace. In this episode, we’re talking about setting strong, loving boundaries with visitors during the precious postpartum period.

    We unpack the real emotions that come with saying “no” — the love, the guilt, the exhaustion — and why standing firm matters now more than ever. This season is about healing, bonding, and building the foundation for your new family. You deserve to move through it with confidence and clarity.

    We’re sharing:

    Why protecting your space is an act of love (for you and your baby)

    How to say “no” or “not right now” without guilt

    Handling pushback with grace — and strength

    Knowing when to compromise and when to hold your ground

    Remember:

    You don't owe anyone access to your baby.

    Saying "no" is an act of care, not rejection.

    Boundaries set today create stronger relationships tomorrow.

    This is your time. You are allowed to protect it — boldly and unapologetically. 💛
