Her story offers reassurance to any woman holding fear around “what if” scenarios in birth.Postpartum & Beyond:We dive into the realities of early motherhood—breastfeeding challenges, tongue ties, low supply—and the importance of true postpartum support. Diana shares how tools like Yoga Nidra can help mothers restore their nervous systems even during fragmented sleep and newborn care.A Bigger Cultural Conversation:Together, we unpack how modern productivity culture—rooted in Industrial Revolution thinking—has disconnected us from rest. For mothers especially, reclaiming rest isn’t indulgent…it’s revolutionary.When we tend to our own nervous systems, we don’t just heal ourselves—we imprint safety, regulation, and resilience onto our children.✨ Rest is how we model regulation. Healing doesn’t need to be taught—it can be felt.🎧 Listen now. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Diana:Instagram: @resttothriveWebsite: RestToThrive.com
