Episode 44: The Postpartum Season: Redefining Recovery, Rest, and Roles

Why does postpartum so often feel like uncharted territory instead of the triumphant ‘bounce back’ you were promised? Because this isn’t about returning to who you were—it’s about meeting the powerful, transformed version of who you’re becoming. In this episode, Dr. Heather and her husband, Peter, a Registered Nurse, unpack the real, unfiltered layers of postpartum: from the hormonal shifts and physical recoveries to the emotional recalibrations no one prepares you for. You’ll hear personal stories, clinical insights, and empowering strategies that redefine what it means to heal and thrive after birth. By the end, you’ll realize postpartum isn’t a setback—it’s a powerful rebirth.
