Welcome to Navigating Postpartum Wellness — the podcast created for moms who feel like they’re doing it all but still wonder if they’re doing enough.

This show is your reminder that your wellness matters too. Hosted by Jaree Williams, a writer, speaker, and homeschooling mom of two, every episode offers honest reflections, practical wellness strategies, and faith-rooted encouragement for the mother who’s tired of the hustle and ready to align with peace, presence, and purpose.

We talk about the parts of motherhood people don’t post about — the hard moments, the identity shifts, the guilt, the healing, and the wins worth celebrating.

Whether you’re folding laundry, hiding in the bathroom for a break, or driving in silence after drop-off, this space is for you. You’re not too much. You’re just set apart.

Lately, I’ve been in my homebody era — and honestly, I’m not mad about it.

In this Motherhood Unfiltered episode, I share what it’s been like to choose peace, silence, and home-cooked meals over constant outings. From turning down dinner invites to finding joy in quiet moments, I’ve realized that rest isn’t boring — it’s necessary.

I talk about:

•Why I’d rather stay home and cook than eat out (even on special occasions)

•How multi-generational living gives me balance and breathing room

•The joy of silence, solo dinners, and Christmas movie nights

•Learning to let go of control and accept help from my husband and family

•Releasing perfectionism while still honoring your need for order and peace

If you’ve ever felt guilty for not wanting to “go out,” this one’s for you. You’re not lazy — you’re learning to protect your peace.

Tune in for a candid, cozy conversation that reminds you:

You don’t have to be everywhere to be at peace where you are.

Let’s be real—mom life in America feels like a never-ending merry-go-round. You’re told to chase “balance” that photographs well on Instagram, but doesn’t reflect real life. You’re sold peace through products, planners, and productivity hacks that only leave you needing more.

In this Motherhood Unfiltered episode, Jaree Williams gets raw about the quiet rebellion of slowing down and thinking for yourself. She reminds moms that you don’t have to perform peace — you can actually live it.

In this conversation, we talk about:

How the system profits off of keeping moms exhausted and distracted

Why hustle culture feels holy but steals your peace

Giving yourself permission to rest without guilt or validation

The freedom that comes when your obedience no longer needs explanation

How to stop performing for social media and start living intentionally again

The beauty of contentment — learning to want less, not chase more

This isn’t just a motherhood conversation. It’s a wake-up call for every woman ready to think for herself, redefine success, and walk in peace.

Gentle parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about becoming. In this episode of Navigating Postpartum Wellness, I share the honest truth about trying to parent differently than the generations before me. From knowing our triggers to repairing after we mess up, we’ll talk about why healing takes time, what research says about discipline, and how grace can change the way we raise our kids.

Modern motherhood doesn’t always come with a village, it has to be created sometimes — and that’s why so many of us feel overstimulated, not broken.

In this episode, Jaree Williams breaks down the truth behind sensory overload, why it’s not about self-discipline, and how real moms can give themselves grace while building systems that support peace, presence, and rest.
