Motherhood changes far more than your body it changes your identity.
While everyone prepares you for the baby, very few people prepare you for what happens to YOU.
In this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Ranavat, founder of Ranavat Beauty, to talk about the realities of postpartum recovery, hair loss, skin changes, confidence, and the ancient Ayurvedic rituals that helped her reconnect with herself after becoming a mother.
We explore why so many women feel pressure to "bounce back," how motherhood can leave you feeling disconnected from your identity, and why looking after yourself isn't selfish it's essential.
Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, planning a family, or simply curious about the science behind Ayurveda, this conversation is full of practical advice and a refreshing perspective on healing from the inside out.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why motherhood feels like the birth of a new identity
• The emotional reality of postpartum hair loss
• Why so many mothers feel isolated after having children
• Ancient Ayurvedic traditions that support postpartum recovery
• The science behind scalp massage, Amla and Saffron
• Pregnancy-safe skincare and ingredients to avoid
• Stretch marks, pigmentation and skin changes after birth
• Why modern beauty focuses on fixing rather than healing
• Daily rituals that help mothers reconnect with themselves
• How to create healthy family boundaries after having a baby
