50: 4 Ways to Prepare for Postpartum

Hi friend! I’ve got a new resource out for you if you’re a pregnant or postpartum mama listening to this episode today. My new free guide Preparing for Postpartum is going to walk you through life immediately postpartum.

I’m super excited to tell y’all my new Thriving Through Postpartum Playbook comes out this week! I poured my heart and soul into this new digital product and I know it’s going to change the lives. Because, if you know me… you know my heart truly desires to change the world. If you’ve been around the show the last couple of years you know that I had a really challenging postpartum season with my third baby who is now almost 2 as I record this. I had a beautiful homebirth, but needed to be transferred to the hospital postpartum after I had a piece of retained placenta. After surgery and blood transitions, I was in much better shape. But, the road to healing was long and slow for me. Birth trauma, having recently moved away from family, and a husband who traveled for work all made my transition to a mama of three really tough. Throw in oral ties, mastitis, thrush, and postnatal depletion and I was a struggle bus. But, friends…. I did heal. I came back. Slowly, but surely my brain and my body came back together again. And I’m leaning into the new mom I was always designed to be. And I learned so much. And it created in me a passion to create a resource for you! I wanted to create a resource that I wished I would have had. To include everything I needed to hear in those hard, challenging, sleepy postpartum days. And I did it. And it’s HERE! And with all of my heart I pray it blesses you! Grab the Preparing for Postpartum Guide now on my website and stay tuned for the launch of the Thriving Through Postpartum Playbook this week! You’re going to love it! And sweet listener, if you’re not having a baby in this season, but you know someone who is…would you do me a favor right now and text them a link to this episode. Because it just might change their entire postpartum experience.

Today, we are talking about the 4 things you can do to prepare for a positive postpartum transition:
