The Truth About Postpartum: What Really Happens After Birth and How I Healed

Life update! This episode is a real one. I'm about seven weeks postpartum and finally feeling ready to talk about what these last two months have truly been like. I'm sharing the parts we don't usually say out loud: how the shock of labor stayed with me long after we got home, how intense the early hormone swings were, the moments I didn't recognize myself at all, and the way my body slowly healed. I'm also sharing what has helped: the support I lean on, the simple rituals that ground me, the supplements and testing I'm doing, and the mindset that carried me through the hardest days. If you're anywhere in the postpartum experience (preparing for it, deep in it, reflecting back on it, or supporting someone you love through it), I hope this episode makes you feel less alone and more understood.   Resources: • Which test is ideal for you? → • Join the waitlist to work with me → • Follow me on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 — Shifting with the season change 05:32 — Balancing motherhood and work 07:37 — What I was missing going into birth 10:50 — Noah's guest appearance on the pod  11:13 — The early (hormonal) postpartum weeks 13:35 — What helped me heal physically + mentally 14:38 — Letting go of expectations 16:34 — Taking care of my physical body 17:19 — Supplements and testing for me (& baby!) 19:19 — Advice for healing postpartum   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
