Postpartum care in the U.S. is broken—period. 

Women are left struggling with depletion, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune conditions with little to no real support. What if postpartum care wasn’t just about surviving but actually thriving?

Today I'm chatting with Jane Baecher, co-founder and CEO of Anya, a revolutionary postpartum wellness brand changing the game for new moms. Jane shares her journey, why she felt called to disrupt the space, and how Anya is helping moms heal at the root—through nutrition, holistic care, and real, evidence-based solutions. We’re talking why postpartum recovery is more than just the first six weeks, how the U.S. is failing mothers compared to other countries, and what it will take to truly shift the narrative around postpartum health.
