In today’s episode, I’m sharing all the honest, heartfelt advice I wish someone had told me before I became a mother. From the messy, miraculous postpartum days to the ways birth impacts how we mother, I’m unpacking everything I’ve learned in my two and a half years of motherhood.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why postpartum is just as important as birth and how to honor it
• The 5-5-5 rule for postpartum healing and bonding
• How to prepare your home and heart for those tender first weeks
• Breastfeeding truths: it’s hard at first, but it gets easier
• Why your body might never look the same — and that’s good
• Letting go of cultural body ideals and embracing your new, strong mother-body
• Why less baby stuff is actually more — and what truly matters
• How your baby’s personality might surprise you (and that’s okay!)
• Tuning out the noise and leaning into your maternal intuition
• Simple ways to speak life and truth into your children from the very start
• The connection between birth and how you mother
• Preparing for hard moments without letting fear steal your joy

I hope this episode encourages you to trust yourself, to tune in to God’s design for motherhood, and to see the profound beauty in the simple, ordinary moments with your little ones. Whether you’re expecting your first baby or you’re a seasoned mama, this conversation is for you.
