In this episode, I’m joined by specialist postpartum midwife Lara for a thoughtful and honest conversation about what really happens after birth.
Recorded last summer, this discussion explores the often-overlooked realities of the postpartum period — not just physically, but emotionally, relationally and hormonally.
Together, we unpack:
Why the fourth trimester deserves as much preparation as labour itself
The importance of debriefing your birth experience
The embodied transition women move through after birth
The evolving role of the birth partner once the baby has arrived
Why personalised, relational postpartum care matters
How intentional postpartum planning can reduce tension and misunderstanding
Understanding Matrescence — the developmental transition into motherhood.
Postpartum Planning is something I teach extensively and have dedicated the final chapter to in my book:
