If that’s been something you’ve been wondering, you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, Brooke debunks the myth that breastfeeding magically melts the weight away and unpacks the real reasons why your body might be holding on to weight (or even gaining). Let’s get to the root of what’s really going on and how to support your hormones, metabolism, and milk supply without restrictive diets or guilt.
What to Listen For:
Why breastfeeding alone won’t guarantee weight loss (and what to focus on instead)
The impact of hormone shifts and metabolism changes postpartum
What nutrient deficiencies and blood sugar crashes have to do with your weight
How sleep deprivation and stress can slow down or stall your results
Why some moms even gain weight while breastfeeding and what to do about it
Brooke’s personal story of 3 very different postpartum weight journeys
How to spot hidden root causes like thyroid issues, gut imbalances, and PCOS
Why undereating might be making things worse for your energy, mood, and supply
Simple things you can do today to support your health (without burnout!)
A reminder that you’re not broken and you can feel like yourself again 💛
Postpartum weight loss isn’t linear and it’s not your fault if the weight isn’t coming off at the pace or rate you were expecting or wanting. Your body is doing a lot right now, and with the right support, healing is absolutely possible.  If this episode spoke to you, don’t miss Brooke’s free workshop where she walks you through her 3-step method to boost mood, metabolism, and milk supply without cutting calories or cutting out joy. 🎧 Click the link below to save your spot!

Why ADHD in women is often missed or misdiagnosed.

How adult ADHD shows up in parenting, marriage, and running a business.
The simple lifestyle tools that help Brooke manage her symptoms.
A refreshing perspective on using ADHD as a superpower in entrepreneurship.
How Brooke is approaching medication while breastfeeding.
The most helpful ways to support a partner or loved one with ADHD.

Stop Making This Milk Supply Mistake! 🍼
Struggling with low milk supply? Or maybe your supply goes up for a few days, then suddenly drops again? You’re not alone and you’re not broken.
In this episode, I’m sharing the #1 mistake moms make when trying to boost milk supply (and what to do instead). Most tips online only treat the symptom instead of fixing the real root cause.I’ll walk you through how to:
✨ Identify why your milk supply is actually dipping
✨ Avoid common “quick fixes” that can make things worse
✨ Support your body with the right fuel and habits for steady supply
✨ Troubleshoot pumping pain, flange sizing, and nutrient gaps
✨ Build a supply that feels sustainable and stress-free
Even if you’re only producing a few ounces a day, it still matters. You can protect and rebuild your supply without burning out or giving up your sanity and favorite foods.💛 Remember, your body isn’t broken. You just need the right plan for your unique situation.
👉 Listen until the end to learn the steps I use with my clients to increase milk supply and feel good again postpartum.

Thinking about trying Ozempic, Wegovy, or Monjaro? You’re not alone. In this episode, Brooke unpacks the pros, cons, and common misconceptions around semaglutide medications for postpartum moms. If you're navigating weight loss, breastfeeding, or just trying to feel like yourself again—this one’s a must-listen.
What to Listen For:
Why semaglutides like Ozempic are not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding
The hormonal impact of semaglutides and why that matters for moms
What happens when you stop taking semaglutides without making lifestyle changes
Real talk on the side effects—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and more
Why some moms regret weaning early just to lose weight
What blood sugar imbalance means and how to fix it without meds
When Brooke might recommend a semaglutide—and when she wouldn’t
The link between protein, blood sugar, and milk supply
How semaglutides may decrease milk supply by affecting prolactin and oxytocin
Why slow, sustainable weight loss preserves muscle (and feels better)
Semaglutides can seem like a quick fix—but for most postpartum or breastfeeding moms, they’re more risk than reward. Brooke encourages moms to first nourish their bodies with real food, movement, and sustainable changes. Medications may have a time and place, but not at the expense of your hormones, energy, or milk supply.
