Postpartum may be one of the most important yet overlooked parts of life. For so many mamas, the pressure to get back to "regular life" after such a life altering event can feel unsupportive and even traumatic. In today's episode, I sit down with postpartum herbalist Amanda Radan to discuss the details of postpartum self-care. Amanda's focus is to prepare moms for postpartum and to help them feel vital, balanced, and nourished.

In this episode we discuss Amanda's experience with postpartum depression and postpartum depletion, the difference between postpartum depression and baby blues, what postpartum depletion is, when it starts and how to prevent it, using herbs to support postpartum healing, the basics that you’ll need for postpartum if you’re low on funds (and how to support mamas in that position).
