In this episode, I share my proven, game-changing postpartum preparation plan. You”ll hear how I’m getting ready this time around—what I’m stocking on, my nutrition and supplement routine, natural remedies I swear by, and how I’m planning for mental and physical recovery.

From warming, nutrient-rich meals, to finding the right support for you and your family, this episode gives you a sneak peek into how I support healing after childbirth.
