Drunk with a Newborn: How Lizzy Became the ZeroProofMum
I’ve never heard a new mum be as open and honest as Lizzy is in this episode.
From breastfeeding while drunk and passing out, to grappling with postnatal depression and feeling resentful towards her son in those early days.
Lizzy is now sober after years of struggling with alcohol abuse. Growing up in Perth, her energy feels so familiar to me. I was able to open up about my own experiences, and I’m deeply grateful that Lizzy did the same.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sexual assault. Please listen with care.
