Episode 020 | My Breastfeeding Story: Surrender & Perseverance

My breastfeeding journey started with immense pain, desperate prayers, and a more personal relationship with my pump than I had ever imagined possible. But it turned into a story of hope, perseverance, and the freedom that comes from true surrender. In those early months after giving birth, I felt really alone in the difficulties of my breastfeeding journey, so my hope is that my story will help other women feel less alone if they are struggling.

Please share this episode with any of your friends who are pregnant or hope to be pregnant soon (whether it's their first or their fifth child since every kid is different). I pray it blesses and encourages them.
