Summary

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with content creator and founder of Hey!Nu Kay Dudley! Kay gets into all things pregnancy and motherhood, sharing how each of her pregnancies has looked completely different and opening up about the physical and emotional changes she’s experienced through pregnancy and postpartum. She talks about navigating body image, the pressure moms often feel around feeding choices, and why she strongly believes that fed is best when it comes to formula versus breastfeeding. Kay also reflects on how she first got started on social media, what it’s been like sharing motherhood online, and the advice she’d give to new parents trying to protect and strengthen their marriage during such a major life transition. She shares what support from her spouse truly looks like, how she learned to ask for help, and her experience with postpartum depression. Kay also opens up about her lupus diagnosis, including the symptoms she experienced, the long road to finally getting answers, and her advice for anyone struggling to advocate for themselves and feel heard by medical professionals. She also talks about launching Hey!Nu, her plant-based, gluten-free protein bar brand, before wrapping up with the Lemon 7 segment!

It took me six years to get diagnosed. I did all of the initial labs. Every single one of them came back fine. So I was able to get diagnosed, which was incredible and I was so thankful. I remember crying because I was happy that I got diagnosed because I knew. Like I didn't want to be diagnosed, but I wanted validation. You can have one really good breastfeeding journey and then you can have not a good breastfeeding journey. And you just have to do what is mentally best for you. That is a hill I will die on, by the way. I've made the decision to breastfeed, but that's my decision. That doesn't mean that any other mom that's going to do it a different way is wrong. A fed baby is best, in my opinion. A mentally sane mom is so much better than a mom who is just mentally, like, struggling

every single day. I struggled with school. I didn't graduate. I've never really talked about that.

I had a doctor. I'll never forget. He called me and he was like, I don't think this is going to come

as a surprise to you, but it's very obvious you have ADHD. I feel like my childhood was robbed

0:53.1

in a way. Tay and I had like a

0:55.4

controversy a few years ago. And I think in that moment, I felt like that was it. And like,

1:02.9

it would never get better. I told so happy that you are here with us today.

1:30.3

And I'm so excited about today's episode because I'm sitting down with Kay Dudley. If you don't know who she is,

and navigating life as growing family. More recently, she's been opening up about this new

2:06.7

chapter of life she's in, including welcoming their newest baby and adjusting to life with

two under two. Today, we dive into things all mom, postpartum, and Kay actually recently has been dealing with

2:20.2

some health issues that led to a hospitalization. Everything is fine, but we dive into that

2:26.0

and what it's like to have to advocate for yourself when you know something is wrong with

2:30.1

your body, but doctors just aren't listening to you. We cover so many topics, Kay is so
