#199 Navigating Postpartum Depletion: A Guide for New Mothers

November 26, 2025 • Episode 199

In this episode, we dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime — postpartum depletion. We chat about how common it really is (spoiler: way more than most people realise!) and why prepping for that phase is just as important as prepping for birth itself. We get into the physical, emotional, and nutritional sides of recovery, and share some practical ways new mums can nourish themselves and actually ask for help — because doing it all alone is so last season. We also talk about the power of good preconception care, having a solid nutrition game plan, and letting go of the pressure to be perfect. At the end of the day, it’s all about giving yourself grace and putting your well-being first during this wild, beautiful, transformative time.
