What do you REALLY need to know about caring for your postpartum body?
To answer this question I invited Ruth Macy, a pelvic health physical therapist, and Courtney Naliboff, a teacher, writer, and musician, on to the podcast to talk about all things postpartum recovery and self-compassion.
Together we explore:
- The inspiration behind their book "Your Postpartum Body: The Complete Guide to Healing After Pregnancy"
- The concept of radical self-acceptance and compassion in healing after birth
- The essential needs for postpartum recovery: rest, hydration, nutrition, and support (and how to make them a priority)
- The challenges/human cost of lactation and the mental health impact of weaning
- Systemic barriers to postpartum care and practical solutions to navigate them
