First time moms and multi-time moms, we need each other. NOTM favorite, Whitney, jumps in to share her own insights into arguably the biggest 'no one told me' season some women ever experience. With fresh baby waiting for her at home, Whit talks about what she wishes more women knew about motherhood and why changing her sheets has become a non-negotiable. (Those two things aren't actually related.)

We're throwing it back to one of our most listened to and shared episodes. This episode shaped my approach to my overall health as a woman as I learned what to fight for and the right questions to be asking.
