hello, new mamas!
meet your host, lina forrestal
The idea for the New Mamas Podcast was born while I was sobbing in a bathtub somewhere in the blur of while Archer was a newborn.
I was suffering from post-partum anxiety and I remember desperately searching for a podcast that would help me in the early days. I wanted to listen to other moms talk and get vulnerable and really share what they were going through. I couldn’t find a podcast that was having those hard conversations so I set out to create it.
I wanted to create a space to give new moms a voice. So often, our voices are hushed in between newborn cries, family telling us how they did it 30 years ago, and trying to balance our roles as wives, sisters, daughters, and friends. I wanted to create a space free of judgement and full of love for new moms. This is the New Mamas Podcast.

“You are not alone!”
“So often in new motherhood, especially in the midst of this pandemic, I have felt so isolated. This podcast is a constant reminder that I am not alone in any experience or feeling I have encountered in new motherhood. I find myself nodding along in agreement or responding back to the guests as if I were in the room, too. It feels like listening to friends chat honestly about the many joys and challenges of motherhood! Love it!”

“Lina is so authentic and amazing at story telling the real moments of motherhood. The first moments of coming home to setting boundaries with family to normalizing postpartum anxiety and/or depression.
