What Weaning My Son Is Teaching Me About Change
Even if you can't relate to breastfeeding and stopping - you can relate to navigating change. Check out my latest podcast episode about navigating change + some tips I am using in real time.
This week on The Mama’s Bag Podcast, I’m sharing a deeply personal episode about weaning my son after two and a half years of breastfeeding—and what it’s really taught me about transition, change, and showing up even when you don’t feel like yourself.

Breastfeeding has been a constant in my motherhood journey, and honestly, I never expected it to last this long. Now that we’re stepping into the next chapter, I’m noticing all the emotional, hormonal, and quietly disorienting effects of letting go of something that’s been such a part of my daily life.
You may be thinking—this doesn’t apply to me. I’m not a breastfeeding mama, or maybe not a mama at all, or long past this part of the story. But I’m really sharing about transition in general, and that’s something we can all relate to. The in-between, the unfamiliar, the moments when you feel off—but life is still happening, and you still need to show up.
In this episode, I also walk through four intentional ways I’m navigating this season of change:
Staying supported
Reflecting and documenting in real time
Being honest with the people who love me
Letting myself feel it
Pull up a chair and sit with me as I talk openly about what it feels like to be in transition—and what it’s teaching me about resilience, presence, and self-compassion.
