“Bounce back” to what, exactly? We’re Tajuana and Sheree sisters, best friends, and full-time working moms, and we’re starting Turn The Page Podcast the same way we live our lives: honest, a little chaotic, and hungry. We open with our weekly rose and thorn, from bridal expo fun and sneaking away for tacos to the grind of going back to work when you miss being home with your baby during the day.
From there, we get into postpartum body image and the pressure moms feel to look a certain way after pregnancy. We talk about movement without shame, why “I want to feel good” is a better north star than chasing a specific weight, and how diet culture shows up through restriction, cravings, and guilt. We share practical nutrition reflections too, including protein struggles, why oatmeal doesn’t always keep you full, and small ways to make breakfast more balanced when your mornings revolve around naps and noise.
Then we turn the page to two big parts of modern motherhood: staying connected and feeding your baby. We talk therapy, mom brain, postpartum support groups, and building in quarterly “adult time” so we don’t lose ourselves. We also dig into breastfeeding vs formula, pumping around the clock, the “breast is best” messaging, and why mental health has to come first. And yes, we share a teenage secret about taking the bus from the Cherry Hill Mall into Philly.
