In this episode, I speak with Garrett Wood Kusmierz, a mum who faced immense breastfeeding struggles, specifically breast milk leaking challenges after the birth of her son. Garrett’s story is one many new mums can relate to—dealing with engorgement, painful breast milk leakage, and endless laundry hassles from soaking through her clothes and sheets.
What sets her apart is how she took her breast milk leaking experience, turning it into something all mums can benefit from: an absorbent, eco-friendly bra designed specifically for postpartum care.
Garrett opens up about her emotional and physical challenges, offering reassurance to those feeling overwhelmed by breastfeeding. She also reveals the lack of comfortable, practical products available for new mums like herself, which led her to start Kozēkozē, a company focused on creating sustainable postpartum solutions. Her story will resonate with any mum navigating the ups and downs of breastfeeding, and it serves as a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey.
During our chat, Garrett discusses the common misconceptions about breastfeeding, such as the expectation that all mothers can easily manage milk supply.
