The Grey Area of Wanting More and Being Present

Motherhood isn’t always black and white. In this solo episode, we’re talking about the grey area—the space where you can deeply love being present with your kids… while still missing the version of yourself that existed before. After six months of being a stay-at-home mom, this episode dives into the identity shift that no one really prepares you for. In this episode, we talk about: * The transition from survival mode to the “now what?” phase of motherhood * Missing the working version of yourself while loving being home * How much of our identity is tied to productivity and career * The internal tug-of-war between wanting to provide and wanting to be present * Scrolling LinkedIn and realizing opportunities you could have taken * The guilt that comes with wanting more * Why this feeling doesn’t make you ungrateful * Redefining productivity in this season of life * Learning to hold both ambition and presence at the same time

Breastfeeding — The Milky Mommy Era

In this episode of Mommy Unplugged, Gabby shares an honest look into the realities of motherhood during the postpartum season—better known as the “milky mommy era.” From the physical demands of breastfeeding to the emotional rollercoaster that comes with caring for a new baby, this episode dives into the parts of motherhood that aren’t always talked about. Gabby opens up about the exhausting but beautiful stage of life that comes with leaking milk, sleepless nights, and learning how to care for both a baby and herself at the same time. The conversation highlights how quickly life changes after becoming a mom and the pressure many women feel to “have it all together” while navigating postpartum recovery. This episode also touches on the importance of having a support system and carving out time for yourself, including the need for a little girl time to reconnect, laugh, and feel like more than just “mom” for a moment. Gabby reflects on the balance between motherhood, identity, and maintaining friendships during such an overwhelming yet transformative season.

Let’s Talk About the Pregnancy No One Celebrates

This episode dives into the pregnancy no one talks about—the one that isn’t celebrated. I open up about battling intense hormones, pre-partum depression, and an identity crisis that left me grieving the woman I was before becoming a mother. I share the mental weight of loving my baby while feeling disconnected from myself, and the guilt that comes with not enjoying pregnancy the way you’re expected to. I also walk through a labor and birth experience I never anticipated. This is a raw, honest conversation about motherhood, grief, and the parts of pregnancy we’re often too afraid to say out loud.
