Returning guest Melissa Hurt shares common perinatal conditions you don't have to accept: depletion, pelvic imbalance, diastasis recti, weak core, vocal fry.

As a new mother, it can feel as though your body is going through all kinds of changes and challenges that you never expected. However, there are some perinatal conditions that you do not have to accept as your new normal. With some self-care, mindfulness, and the right support, you can overcome these challenges and find your way to a healthier, stronger postpartum experience. Hurt advises seeking support from a doctor, friends, or spiritual advisor to address any physical or mental health concerns.
