    You’re not alone!
    While in the throes of early days postpartum I felt like no one else in the world experiences PPA like I did. I felt like I was alone in all I was feeling as a newly postpartum first time mother. I found the New Mama’s Podcast one day and started listening to it while my baby napped and even now a year later I still love it! It helped me to understand the ins and outs of postpartum depression and anxiety, and helped me feel less like a crazy person. Lina is a great host and I love how her guests range from experts on sleep, to real women sharing their own personal birth stories. Now when I turn it on I feel like I’m hearing from a friend! I highly recommend The New Mamas Podcast!

    Positive vibes and calming advice
    I love the New Mamas podcast because of the positive upbeat vibes. Lina is amazing and I could listen to her all day. She has a soothing voice and feels calming when interviewing guests. She drops so many gems about pregnancy and motherhood as a whole, it's like talking to an experienced mom friend. Love the tranparency and talking about things that often go unspoken.

    It’s like listening to myself
    I am soooo happy I finally found a mom podcast for new moms who are navigating this roller coaster together. I absolutely love the humility and compassion that exudes through Lena- I feel like I’m talking to myself! Being a first time mom who has focused on her career her entire life, it’s hard not to compare to the super moms out there. It can be lonely but her authenticity makes you feel so comforted. I look forward to catching up on the rest of the old episodes!!

    Best mommy podcast!
    Started listening to this podcast in my second trimester and it’s the absolute best! Literally listen to it in the car, while cooking or cleaning, everywhere. Feels so comforting and great topics with all the questions I felt like I had as a first time mom. It’s a must.

    The best podcast for first time moms 💗
    Lina isn’t afraid to get vulnerable and bear it all to make another mom feel less alone. Love her podcast and everything she stands for!

    Lina is so relatable and I could listen to her all day! She chooses the most relevant topics and she’s so genuine and honest! This is perfect for not only new moms, but any mom in general!

    Helpful, relatable, valuable!
    I found this podcast when my daughter was 12 weeks old (turns 2 tmrw). I moved to a new city with no friends or family. This podcast felt so relatable and like I was listening to friends chat, but with highly valuable and helpful content. I’m so glad this podcast was made and look forward to future episodes! Lina is so honest, raw, and real and you can tell she put so much thought into the guests, content, and NEW MAMAS (and papas).

    Love the topics, guests, and empathy!
    I’m a few weeks from delivering my first baby, and have appreciated every topic and guest on this podcast! :) I find myself so engaged with genuine conversations about topics I know I will eventually / have already related to, and love how much empathy & compassion is sprinkled in each conversation! Thank you Lina for being such an amazing host!

    Refreshing take on motherhood in the podcast world!
    Very well produced and presented, listening to Lina is always a joy. I love that she covers such a wide range of topics surrounding motherhood. Perfect for a first time mom, who is figuring things out as she goes. Lina will help you realize, you are not alone.

    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!
  • Aurura J
    Great info for moms to be or new mamas
    I’m not a mom but I love Lina’s work & how she devotes her life and pours all info here. I definitely forward this podcast to my friends who just become new moms!
  • AmyxCCC
    *THE* podcast to listen to if you are a mom
    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. It has allowed me to feel that I’m not alone in what I am experiencing as a first time mom to a 4 month old. For the first few weeks I felt so alone. If you are pregnant and or recently had a baby please subscribe to this. You will find a friend in Lina throughout your journey.

    Dads can learn, too!
    I found this show through listening to Megan Champion’s podcast, On the Hard Days. I loved the insights from your conversation and how much I am learning — as a husband and bio / foster / adoptive dad — on how I can support and encourage the women in my life. Thanks!

    New Favorite Podcast
    This is my new favorite podcast. I’m a mom of 2 and I’m always looking for something to listen to with my kids around that makes me feel validated and informed. Lina is honest and this podcast has helped me in so many ways. If your a first time mom or mom of multiples, give it a listen! The first episode was so validating it made me cry.

    Great convos between mamas of all experiences
    Lina is so relatable and I love her conversations with other mamas. The important topics are covered in each episode, but there’s always more info to glean from her talks with other moms. I love the range of motherhood experience she features on the podcasts—this is part of my “village” that helps me feel better equipped as a mom.

    The honesty we all need
    This podcast is amazing! So honest and so real. Lina picks a variety of very important topics and gets candid with both her interviewees and herself. So relatable as a new mom and it’s great to hear others struggling with similar things. Gives all moms a community where you can feel supported without judgement. The experts she features are also fantastic, I’ve learned so much! Thank you Lina!

    A Labor of Love
    What I love most about The New Mamas Podcast is that this isn’t your average, fall-in-line-with-everything-else podcast. It’s a real mom, navigating real topics in a safe, inviting and educational space. Lina (the host of the show) is not only engaging but incredibly passionate about nurturing this space for all moms. The New Mamas Podcast is a podcast I actually look forward to, and not just throw on to fill the time. Hands down, a well-put together, thoughtful, beautiful labor of love.
  • Serial Momprenuer

    you can tell that this podcast has a lot of passion behind it, from the music, blogs, and conversation topics. It’s not just another mommy blogger that wants to capitalize on her platform, Lina has a true passion for helping other people and her furious loyalty to other new moms really shines through in this podcast
