Creating a Postpartum Wellness Toolkit with The Mama Thrive Method EP 148

01/23/24 • 41 min

We need to talk more about postpartum wellness.

Information and resources for thriving during the postpartum period (which is way longer than most people think, by the way), are severely lacking in our culture.

Creating a postpartum wellness toolkit, covering essentials like self-care practices, mental health support, and nutrition guidelines is essential to long-lasting well-being in motherhood, and even can affect the way your body experiences menopause.

In this episode, we're sharing:

The five components of the Postpartum University Mama Thrive Method at Postpartum University that support healing.
How the components of whole-body support, nutrition and detoxification, better sleep, nervous system care, and cyclical living, are all interconnected.
Practical steps to take to put these pieces into place.
The benefits of preparing this postpartum wellness toolkit.
Real-life examples of how I put these components into practice in my life with four kids.

Rather than focusing on buying tools to make life easier, this episode emphasizes honoring basic needs and making lifestyle changes for a beautiful life in motherhood.
