Are you really prepared for postpartum recovery? Or are you just hoping for the best?
Because let me tell you—postpartum isn’t just about “bouncing back” (ugh, I hate that phrase). It’s about healing, support, and care—things many cultures around the world prioritize way better than we do.
After years of working with families and studying global postpartum traditions, I’ve seen firsthand that the best recoveries happen when we mix the wisdom of the past with the knowledge of today. And that’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this episode!
In This Episode, We’ll Cover:
- Why cultures that prioritize postpartum care do it better—and how you can steal their best secrets
- What traditional postpartum nutrition looks like (hint: it’s not cold cereal and coffee) and how to make it work for your life
- The truth about postpartum movement (no, you don’t need to “get your body back” 🙄, but you do need the right kind of recovery)
- The one thing almost every culture does that the U.S. completely ignores—and why it matters
- How to actually plan for postpartum recovery so you’re supported, not overwhelmed
This episode is your no-BS guide to postpartum care that actually helps you heal—without the toxic “bounce back” culture nonsense.
And because I know you need support, I’ve got you covered:
