208. Strategies for Postpartum Recovery with Emily Montague

In a world that pushes women to “bounce back” after birth, what if we chose to sit still instead?

In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Montague to explore the ancient practice of “the sitting month” a sacred time of rest, nourishment, and gentle recovery after childbirth.

We talk about why postpartum recovery deserves more than a quick shower and a pat on the back. You’ll hear about practical ways to honor what your body has done, give it space to heal, and reclaim your right to rest—without guilt.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get back to normal” too fast, this is your reminder:
You don’t have to bounce back!
