Today’s episode features a compassionate and unfiltered conversation with Summer Innanen and Liz Libby about tending to postpartum needs. In this special episode, we share personal stories and professional insight about how to care for yourself that are particularly important for birth parents mucking through the thick of postpartum time but are widely applicable to anyone who wants to nourish their body and spirit.

Tune in to hear us explore…

  • figuring out (and doing!) the bare minimum of what you need to feel like a human on a daily basis
  • asking for help BEFORE you’re at your breaking point
  • postpartum mood disorders, loneliness, and the darkness of the first 100 days
  • why “bouncing back” is bullshit – and not just as it relates to your body
  • navigating fears around when you are going to feel like yourself again
