Postpartum Advocate: Jenna Kline - On Surrendering Your Plans, Trusting Your Body, and Redefining Success as a New Mom

Jenna Kline is a postpartum advocate reshaping how we talk about motherhood. In this conversation, Jenna reveals the transformation nobody warns you about—how becoming a mother requires a death of your old self, and why fighting that death is what makes postpartum so hard. She shares her experience of a 70-hour labor that ended in an unplanned C-section, working two weeks postpartum for a client who never asked if her baby survived, and why she wished she'd trusted her instinct to burn it all down. We discuss why maternal instinct is undermined by billion-dollar industries, how co-sleeping became her family's choice despite the shame, and why she stopped caring about getting her body back for the first time in her life.  She explains what fathers need to know about bonding, why exclusively pumping saved her mental health, the unsolicited advice that wounds new mothers, and what people should actually do to support someone postpartum (spoiler: don't ask to hold the baby). This is a masterclass in surrender, trusting yourself when the world profits from your doubt, and finding the most alive version of yourself by letting go of who you thought you needed to be.   Jenna's Instagram: @thesaltairmama   Bevan's Offering's: Website: www.theembodiedmind.com.au Instagram: @bevanpfeiffer
