Hey everyone! I'm 6 weeks postpartum.

I shared all about the birth story of my daughter in my last two podcasts, now I have started the beautiful journey of motherhood and the ups and downs of postpartum. I will share with you how postpartum has been so far… full of so much love and joy and also a lot of healing taking place, both physically and emotionally as my hormones come back into balance.

Everyone's postpartum experience is unique, there are actions we can take to help us go through those first few weeks and months after birth to help us manage everything with more ease and compassion and trust.

Today, I'll share my postpartum story so far: the ups and downs, the joys, the fears, and my honest real experience.
