EPISODE DESCRIPTION
The Thoughts New Parents Don’t Say Out Loud If you’re pregnant… just had a baby… or love someone who is about to become a parent… this episode is for you. This is a preview of *Rattled* - a brand-new podcast from Good Inside, created for those early weeks and months of parenthood, when everything feels new, intense, and a little disorienting. Each episode of *Rattled* starts with a thought - the kind that shows up at 2 a.m., the kind you don’t always say out loud, the kind that can make you wonder if something is wrong with you. In this preview, you’ll hear from two parents: Caro Chambers - a writer, chef, and mom of four—on the moment it hit her: “Oh… my whole life has changed.” And Leah Smart - executive coach, podcast host, and new mom - on experiencing intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and postpartum, and what they actually mean (and don’t mean) about you. If you’ve ever had a complicated thought around a baby… or worried about what your thoughts say about you - you are not the only one!
