In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca Sprague breaks the silence around one of parenthood’s biggest taboos: not loving the newborn stage.

From hormonal crashes to sleep deprivation, from identity loss to emotional overload, this episode explores why the early weeks of postpartum feel so overwhelming for so many, and how toxic messages like “soak up every moment” and Instagram-perfect parenting are setting us up to feel like failures.

Bianca shares the truth about postpartum ambivalence, touches on regret, rage, and delayed bonding, and unpacks the broken systems behind it all, with stats, stories, and radical validation.

If you’re struggling, or want to support new parents with honesty and care, this one is for you.

Topics: postpartum mental health, newborn stage regret, motherhood and identity, perinatal mood disorders, birthwork, doula support, feminist parenting
