  • E49: Twins & Postpartum: Finding Balance in the Blur, with Amanda
    Mar 24 2026

    In this special episode of Delivered, we are joined by a childhood friend, Amanda, who is a fantastic Mama of twins! Welcoming one baby into the world is life-changing...welcoming two at once can feel like a beautiful, exhausting whirlwind. In this episode, we dive into the unique realities of postpartum life with twins—the double feedings, the constant juggling, and the emotional highs and lows that often come in waves.

    We're unpacking what it means to find balance when everything feels like a blur, from navigating sleep deprivation and identity shifts to managing expectations (your own and everyone else's). This episode offers reassurance that it's okay to feel overwhelmed, and that finding your rhythm doesn't happen overnight—it happens in small, grace-filled moments. Whether you're in the thick of twin postpartum life or preparing for what's ahead, this conversation is here to remind you that you're NOT alone! There is strength in the chaos, beauty in the mess, and support waiting to meet you right where you are.

  • E48: Different Not Less: Breaking Stigmas Around Autism and Neurodivergence, with Ashley Mundy
    Mar 3 2026

    In this special episode of Delivered, we are sitting down with Ashley, a resilient mama who was faced with the unknown world of autism as her son was developing. We're breaking down the harmful myths and outdated narratives surrounding autism and neurodivergence — and replacing them with truth, dignity, and empowerment. Too often, autistic individuals are misunderstood, underestimated, or pressured to conform to neurotypical standards. But being neurodivergent doesn't mean being less. It means being different — and different is not a deficit.

    We'll explore what it really means to live with autism, the impact of stigma on individuals and families, and how language, advocacy, and education can shift the conversation. Whether you're a parent, partner, provider, or someone navigating your own neurodivergent identity, this episode offers insight, validation, and practical ways to foster inclusion and understanding.

    Because when we challenge stigma, we create space — space for authenticity, for strengths to shine, and for every brain to be valued exactly as it is!!

  • E47: Enough Is Enough: Breaking the Silence on Postpartum Pressure, with AnnaMarie Knight
    Feb 19 2026

    In this special episode of Delivered, we are joined by AnnaMarie, a first time mom who finally said Enough is Enough! Join us as we're naming what so many moms feel but rarely say out loud: the pressure to "bounce back," keep it together, and somehow do it all with a smile. From the unrealistic expectations on social media to the silent comparisons happening in our own homes, postpartum pressure is real—and it's heavy. Today, we're drawing a line in the sand and saying what more mothers need to hear: enough is enough!

    We're unpacking where this pressure comes from, how it shows up in our thoughts and daily routines, and why so many women feel like they're failing in a season that is already so vulnerable. If you've been feeling stretched thin, overstimulated, or quietly questioning why this feels harder than you expected, this conversation is for you. Let this episode be the permission slip you didn't know you needed—to slow down, to ask for help, to set boundaries, and to release the impossible standard of perfection. You are not failing. You are human! And you deserve support in this season!
