To celebrate five years of conversations with postpartum women and experts in the space, I'm bringing you a summer series of the greatest hits of Tales from the Fourth Trimester!

And to kick it all off, I'm going right back to the first episode, where I shared my story of becoming a mum for the first time. If you've been around for a while, you've probably seen evidence of my less-than-picture-perfect first postpartum. The first weeks at home with my new baby were very beautiful, extremely brutal and, ultimately, what set me on an entirely new career path. Tune in to hear how my mothering, and business, began.
