Summary
This week’s episode is equal parts chaotic, honest, and deeply meaningful as Morgan is joined by her sister Taylor and her 11-week-old niece, Collyns for a special holiday week conversation.
Taylor opens up about becoming a first-time mom, what no one truly prepares you for after birth, and how motherhood reshapes everything. From marriage and identity to sleep, patience, and trust in your own instincts. They talk candidly about pregnancy plans going out the window, postpartum realities, breastfeeding struggles, Bell’s Palsy in the midst of recovery, and the emotional weight of those early weeks that don’t get talked about enough.
From choosing the right partner, navigating life with dogs and a newborn, and leaning on community, to trusting your “mom gut” and tuning out outside noise, this episode is an honest look at what it really means to bring a life into the world. It’s a sister conversation filled with love, laughter, tears, baby noises, and perspective for anyone who’s a mom, hopes to be one someday, or just wants a deeper understanding of this season of life.

| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:41.2 | Our next series is all about family and there is a double entendre there because it's Christmas week, which to me is all about family. I'm bringing on my sister for her first ever podcast episode. She's a brand new mama to my niece and she's a speech language pathologist. We're talking all things baby, pregnancy, motherhood and postpartum. Next week I'll bring on Michelle Poole, who is a nurse at the Maven Clinic, |
| 0:46.2 | which specializes in family building, fertility, and all things parenthood. We're getting into some special talks for the mamas, especially, but also the father's out there. So let's do this. |
| 1:02.5 | This is going to be a fun chaotic episode because my sister is joining me, but not just my sister, her very precious new baby, Miss Collins and my niece. Hey, Tay. Thanks for coming on. |
| 1:09.6 | I'm glad to be here. And Collins is just staring. |
| 1:12.6 | She's very confused about what's happening, but she's learning the podcast life very early. |
| 1:17.3 | I'm excited to talk to you about being a new mom and Ms. Collins. How old is Collins now? |
| 1:21.9 | Collins is 11 weeks old. Now she was born September 10th. So. And what's it like being a new mom because it's been fun for me |
| 1:29.2 | as your sister to watch you enter this life that you've been waiting for what seems like decades |
| 1:33.7 | you were a mom to me as a kid so this has been everything you've ever wanted it has been I always knew |
| 1:39.2 | that I wanted to be a mom and as hard as it's been some days it's truly just the best and um i don't think anything can |
| 1:47.2 | prepare you for what motherhood truly is and i just love it so much you did you read all the books |
| 1:55.4 | you listened to every podcast you watched all the instagram videos you did Did it all go out the window when she arrived? |
| 2:03.2 | A little bit. I think you can only be prepared so much until she's here. And then you realize, |
| 2:08.5 | okay, I have a human life that now looks at me to provide everything for her to protect her, |
| 2:15.3 | to give her the nutrition she needs. And then it's, okay, I read all |
| 2:21.0 | of that, but what does reality actually look like? And I think the biggest thing for me was people |
| 2:26.0 | said, oh, you're not going to get sleep, blah, blah, blah. Okay, well, the biggest thing is my baby does |
| 2:31.5 | sleep, but when you are breastfeeding, you have to wake them |
| 2:34.8 | every two to three hours when they're babies. And so even if your baby wants to sleep, |
