The Postpartum Rules Nobody Says Out Loud: DBAD style

In this week’s episode, Gretchen is giving the real talk on how to show up for a friend (or sister, or family member) who’s postpartum, without accidentally making it harder for her. She starts by admitting she got it wrong before and explains what she wishes she’d done instead.She breaks down the biggest postpartum do’s and don’ts, like never showing up unannounced, never arriving empty-handed, not overstaying your welcome, and not expecting a new mom to host you. Gretchen shares simple, copy-and-paste texts you can send, plus practical ways to lighten the load for new parents. She also touches on family dynamics, boundaries, and why postpartum anxiety and depression are real, and worth paying attention to. If you want to be the supportive friend who actually helps (not the one who needs managing), this episode is your cheat sheet.📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: [email protected]__💕 Watch episodes on Youtube and follow Gretchen on Instagram and Tiktok__✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!Hosted on Acast.
