| 1:37.6 | for moms and asked me if I had a topic specifically dedicated to it, I really had to think |
| 1:41.6 | about it because I was like, do I not? But I don't think I do. |
| 1:48.1 | So, Annery, from the podcast Postpartum on Purpose, did I say that right? Yep. Yes. |
| 1:52.9 | It's here today to talk about a period in mother's lives that can really throw us for a loop, right? |
