This episode is actually part 2 of my conversation with Taylor Kirkbride, postpartum chef and doula. Part 1 was all about nourishment during pregnancy so if you missed that, definitely go back and listen. In this episode, we really get into the details of postpartum nourishment spanning from preparing during the third trimester all the way through late postpartum when we begin to intentionally nourish our bodies back into the preconception era to prepare for future pregnancies. Taylor is so full of wisdom and her food is absolutely incredible. I am actually hiring her for postpartum support after I give birth to my newest baby in the spring. She’s a wealth of knowledge and I just know you’re going to gain so much value from this conversation. You can find her on instagram @let.it.grow.doula!

Today’s conversation is SO good that I decided to break it up into two full episodes, so, surprise! You guys get a bonus episode this week. In this part 1 episode, I’m chatting with Taylor Kirkbride about all things nutrition and nourishment during pregnancy. Taylor is a private chef and doula and boy is she a wealth of knowledge.

Today, we are talking with Susannah Long. Susannah is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Greenville, SC. In her private practice, she helps pregnant and postpartum moms tackle fear and learn to take back control from intrusive thoughts and anxiety. 

In the episode, Susannah and I discuss some of the common misconceptions around mental health. We also talk about preparing to thrive during the postpartum period, and how to navigate intrusive thoughts and postpartum mood disorders if they do arise. Reframing the way we perceive mental health struggles and learning how to effectively communicate our needs are recurring themes in this conversation, and I truly hope that you leave this episode feeling confident and hopeful, whether you are currently struggling, working to support others, or just preparing for the future.

Today, we are talking with Caitlin Cipriano. Caitlin lives in Vermont with her husband, two littles, and their two dogs. She is a graduate of Logan University's Nutrition and Human Performance program and a Certified Perinatal Nutritionist. Her mission is to help women nourish so that they can flourish from conception all the way through postpartum.

I have been really excited to share this episode with you all because I am so passionate about this topic. Caitlin and I talk about all things cycle-syncing (aka my favorite form of biohacking) as well as the importance of blood sugar regulation. I truly believe these are two of the most important concepts to understand when it comes to fertility and hormone health. Whether you are TTC, currently pregnant, or just looking to learn more about your body, you have landed in the right place. I promise you are going to walk away with so much information that you can literally implement today to majorly improve your health.

Today, we are talking with Sarah O’Rourke. Sarah is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of two. She owns a private practice called Milk and Honey Breastfeeding Services located in Travelers Rest, SC and also offers virtual care worldwide. Sarah specializes in prenatal care and oral ties, which is why I was so thrilled to have her on for this conversation.

In the episode, we start by talking about common hindrances in the early postpartum and how we can prepare prenatally for a successful breastfeeding experience. But then we really get into the meat and potatoes in our conversation about tongue ties. Sarah helps to clarify misinformation around oral ties, including identifying the difference between functional and anatomical ties, which should not necessarily be treated in the same way. We get into why bodywork is so important and why revisions are often overprescribed. My hope is that this conversation equips you with the tools you need to make the best decisions for your baby and your family when it comes to breastfeeding.
