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—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're not the only one!

Subscribe to Rattled; new episodes every Thursday.

Because the best way to care for a baby…
is to care for the person holding the baby!
