I want to hear about your fucked up birth situation.

You know what? It's honestly, I think so much of it is the mental state anyway.

So whether or not it's like a true... medical emergency or it's just like not what you expected it's like so many people go into birth having no fucking clue what you're in for and then exactly you you don't know like so do you know how many how often like like someone's baby you know like is a little bit jaundiced put them under a lamp there's not a good enough communication about that very normal thing but as like a postpartum mom you're fucking freaking out or like so many babies need a what's it called a respiratory therapist as soon as they're born also not a big deal but like again as the mom like they're whisked away they're you know getting shit sucked out of their lungs normal shit but you're already in this like obviously extremely vulnerable situation and heightened and and I think the biggest thing is like not knowing enough going into it which I don't I'm kind of torn on this because like I didn't have a birth plan.

24:35
I was thinking about that and how she was saying, like, I'm not a fitness chick anymore and, like, what am I? Whatever.
24:40
And I was thinking about that because, like, my content, like – I would always just talk about you know kind of like trashy story times like my ex's stupid shit I used to do back in the day and like as I get farther away from that and as I'm just like my priorities are so shifted like being a mom now I'm like grappling with like how do I not lose that audience and be like mama because like I don't feel like mama either I'm not like crunchy mama love love but like I am kind of just, like, where do I sit on this spectrum of, like, feeling just really more like an adult? And, like, now when I, like, try and think of, like, what to talk about, like, on TikTok, because my whole thing's kind of, like, story times, it's just flop after flop because I don't know.
