Shelby shares her personal journey from dealing with digestive issues and eating disorders to discovering the power of nourishing foods and holistic healing practices. She emphasizes the importance of breakfast, bone broth, and gentle herbs like chenpi and goji berries to support postpartum health. 

Trish and Shelby discuss the critical need for mothers to honor their bodies, set boundaries, and teach the next generation the value of self-care. This episode is a wake-up call to all moms to stop merely surviving and start thriving in motherhood.
