What happens after you leave the hospital with your newborn—and no real roadmap? In this episode, we dive into the reality that no discharge paper can truly prepare you for the postpartum experience. Kristin is joined by Ciara Lyons, MSN, RN, PHN, to explore the physical, emotional, and mental transitions that new parents face once they’re home.

Ciara shares her professional insights and real-world perspective on the gaps in postpartum care, why so many families feel unprepared, and how to better support recovery, healing, and adjustment during the fourth trimester. From navigating unexpected challenges to building a stronger support system, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone preparing for life after birth.

Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or supporting a growing family, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and more confident in your postpartum journey.
