What I'm Doing to Prepare for Postpartum

SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

Preparing for a new baby is exciting—but so much of the focus often goes to the nursery, baby clothes, and gear. This time, Jordan is putting more intention into preparing herself so she can recover well and truly enjoy those first precious weeks.

In this episode, Jordan shares the lessons she learned from her first postpartum experience and how she’s approaching birth and recovery differently this time—so she can feel more supported, more prepared, and more present with her family.
