Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re talking all things postpartum recovery — what to expect, how to support your healing body, and the simple daily habits that make the biggest difference in how you feel after birth.

Whether you’re currently pregnant, planning to be, or in the thick of the newborn haze, this episode will walk you through what recovery really looks like — especially for my fellow C-section mamas. I’ll share what I wish someone had told me sooner, the tips that helped me heal from my own unplanned C-section, and how to reconnect to your body with compassion, patience, and grace.

We’ll cover:

  • 💆‍♀️ Why rest isn’t lazy — it’s rehab
  • 🌬️ The first “exercise” you should do postpartum (and it’s not what you think)
  • 🧠 Mindset shifts that help you rest without guilt
  • 💪 How to safely rebuild core + pelvic floor connection
  • 🩹 C-section scar healing: emotional work, desensitization, and mobility
  • ☀️ Why gentle movement like walking outdoors can speed healing (and calm your nervous system)

This one’s a must-listen if you want to recover stronger, calmer, and more connected to your body than ever before.
