The Bobby Bones Show - TAKE THIS PERSONALLY: What No One Tells You About Becoming a Mom with My Sister

Duration: 50m
Broadcast on: 28 Dec 2025
Audio Format: other

This week’s episode is equal parts chaotic, honest, and deeply meaningful as Morgan is joined by her sister Taylor and her 11-week-old niece, Collyns for a special holiday week conversation.

Taylor opens up about becoming a first-time mom, what no one truly prepares you for after birth, and how motherhood reshapes everything. From marriage and identity to sleep, patience, and trust in your own instincts. They talk candidly about pregnancy plans going out the window, postpartum realities, breastfeeding struggles, Bell’s Palsy in the midst of recovery, and the emotional weight of those early weeks that don’t get talked about enough.

From choosing the right partner, navigating life with dogs and a newborn, and leaning on community, to trusting your “mom gut” and tuning out outside noise, this episode is an honest look at what it really means to bring a life into the world. It’s a sister conversation filled with love, laughter, tears, baby noises, and perspective for anyone who’s a mom, hopes to be one someday, or just wants a deeper understanding of this season of life.

Our next series is all about family, and there is a double entendre there because it's Christmas week, which to me is all about family. I'm bringing on my sister for her first ever podcast episode. She's a brand new mama to my niece, and she's a speech language pathologist. We're talking all things baby, pregnancy, motherhood, and postpartum. Next week I'll bring on Michelle Poole, who is a nurse at the Maven Clinic, which specializes in family building, fertility, and all things parenthood. We're getting into some special talks for the mamas, especially, but also the fathers out there, so let's do this. This is going to be a fun, chaotic episode because my sister is joining me, but not just my sister. Her very precious new baby, Miss Collins in my niece. Hey, Tay, thanks for coming on. I'm glad to be here. And Collins is just staring. She's very confused about what's happening, but she's learning the podcast life very early. I'm excited to talk to you about being a new mom in Miss Collins. How old is Collins now? Collins is 11 weeks old. Now she was born in September 10th. And what's it like being a new mom? Because it's been fun for me as your sister to watch you enter this life that you've been waiting for what seems like decades.
