For years that good inside, we focused on the huge changes that parents go through when they're learning to work with toddlers and young kids.

But as anyone with an infant can tell you, the ground shifts hard before all that.

In the third trimester, in the weeks with the newborn, in the stretches when everything feels bigger and closer to the surface than you expected and it all feels like

it's going to be like that forever.

And nobody prepared you for what's happening inside your body and inside your head.

At Goodenside, we've started building something for that.

The first piece is a new podcast called Rattled,

a show for when New Parenthood shakes you. Every episode starts with a thought that doesn't

quite make it into the group chat. Thoughts like, why don't I love this? I miss my old life.

Why is this so boring? Why didn't anyone warn me about the fine print?

And even, what if I hurt my baby? We named the thought. We sit with the guest who lived it,

and we work it out together. And there is even more for new parents coming from good inside later

this spring. And I'll tell you about it on the other end of today's episode. Today I want to play

you two excerpts, one from each of our first two rattled guests. First up, Caro Chambers. You may know

her from her cook book and her substack,

what to cook when you don't feel like cooking.

She's a mom of four.

And in this clip, she tells me about a 6.30 a.m. morning in Carmel, California,

when she woke up and realized nobody told me this would happen.

Tell me a little bit about who Caro Chambers was before your first baby.

Ooh, okay. I did whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. That's who I was.

I mean chef's kiss about pre-child life.
