Postpartum Recovery, Mental Health, Marriage And Exercise After Having Babies With Marlie Cohen Aka Kale And Krunches

Marlie Cohen aka Kale and Krunches joins the Mind Body Mother Podcast for conversation around the realities of postpartum recovery, mental health scares as a new mom and the evolution of life, marriage and exercise after kids. She explains how she felt “wrecked” after birth and was totally unprepared based on how postpartum is portrayed in the media. Marlie opens up about intrusive thoughts, postpartum anxiety and other aspects of physical recovery such as her umbilical hernia and pelvic floor after two episiotomies. Both Helene and Marlie share their thoughts around having more babies and what marriage has been like since having kids. Marlie gives some great advice on how to communicate with your partner and set boundaries in both real life and on social media. Of course Marlie shares her expertise as a pre and postnatal personal trainer debunking some ideas around what moms can and can’t do during pregnancy, simple exercises for postpartum strengthening and how to adopt realistic practices, letting go of strict routines and non-negotiables. If you love digging into the real talk of motherhood and stuff that’s on your mind, but don’t always get to talk about- this episode is for you!
