from Golden Hour · host Golden Hour
In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Schultz, a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach based in Los Angeles with nearly two decades of experience in the wellness industry. After a near-death experience in 2011 and years of surgeries and chronic pain, Lisa rebuilt her health through natural healing and lifestyle changes. She later served as the Wellness Director at a physical therapy clinic in Santa Monica and now brings her expertise to a wider audience through Verdura Method, her online nutrition course.In our conversation, Lisa shares an honest look at her journey through pregnancy, birth, and the emotional realities of postpartum. From shifting her mindset from “goals” to “intentions,” to the unexpected “nose dive” she experienced after birth, Lisa offers vulnerable insight into what the early months of motherhood can really feel like.We talk about matrescence, identity, the pressures placed on new moms, and why postpartum should be understood not as 6–12 weeks, but as a full-year transition. Lisa also opens up about the stigma around seeking help — and how that judgment can isolate women during one of the most demanding seasons of their lives.In this episode: ✨ Why “intentions” create healthier expectations for birth ✨ The emotional crash of early postpartum ✨ How identity shifts during matrescence ✨ Why asking for help is essential, not optional ✨ The truth about postpartum as a one-year transition ✨ What women really need to feel supportedLisa lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two children.Listen in for a conversation that is honest, grounding, and so needed.#postpartum #matrescence #motherhood #birthstory #fourthtrimester #postpartumjourney #mom #momlife #motherhoodjourney #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyThank you for listening ❤ PODCAST LINKS:- Podcast Website: https://goldenhour.fm- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoldenHourFM?ref=bs- Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/golden-hour/id1768847425?ref=bs- Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/goldenhourfm?ref=bs- RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2401875.rss?ref=bsSOCIAL LINKS:- Instagram: https://instagram.com/goldenhour.fm?ref=bs- Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goldenhour.fm?ref=bs
