n this powerful episode, we’re joined by MiKaylan Cushing, Holistic Lactation and Gut Health Educator, to explore how a mother's nervous system can directly impact milk flow, letdown reflex, and even a baby’s ability to latch.

MiKaylan shares how emotional stress, anxiety, and past trauma can show up during breastfeeding — and more importantly, what moms can do to restore regulation and confidence. Learn practical tools to support your nervous system, improve feeding outcomes, and create a more connected experience with your baby.

We cover:

How stress impacts milk supply and letdown
The connection between emotional wellness and latch challenges
Signs your baby may be reacting to your nervous system state
Practical, holistic tools to support a calm and regulated body while breastfeeding

Whether you're in the trenches of newborn feeding or looking to support your postpartum wellness, this episode is a grounding guide for the modern mama.
