You finally get a full night’s sleep… and still wake up feeling exhausted. Sound familiar? 😴 In today’s episode, I’m sharing 3 sneaky but super common reasons why you’re still so tired—even when your baby is sleeping and you’re technically “resting.” These are the energy drains most moms never get warned about after birth, but they make all the difference.

Whether you’re 3 months or 3 years postpartum, these hidden energy drains could be the missing piece in your recovery and well-being. I’ll also share simple, actionable tips to help you support your energy—without adding more to your already full plate.

If you want your energy back but aren’t sure where to start—this episode is for you. Let’s fix the fatigue together 💛 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why your morning coffee and skipped meals might be making you more tired
  • The hidden nutrient gaps that can drain your energy (even months or years postpartum!)
  • Why doing “all the things” may actually be backfiring on your healing
  • Easy, realistic strategies to help you start feeling better—without the burnout
