Oh, the postpartum period—the time when everything feels impossibly full (your heart, your hands, and let’s be frank, your b***s). In this episode, we’re cracking open what it really takes to nurture yourself after birth—not the Insta-perfect, "bounce-back" myth, but the slow, sacred, and unapologetic process of receiving.
Why do so many of us resist rest, help, and even our own innate wisdom? What would it look like to give ourselves the same grace we’d offer to someone we love? And how do we shift from simply surviving postpartum to thriving in connection and recovery?
Joined by the delightful Jennifer Cruise from Nurturing Connections with Jen, we unpack:
Why you can’t pour from an empty cup (or give from your cup at all—hello, saucer life)
How to build your village and set boundaries with love
What it means to honour your identity as a mum while still holding onto the parts of yourself that make you you
How can you embrace rest without feeling like you’re losing yourself in the process?
What’s stopping you from asking for or accepting the help you deserve?
Could prioritising your own well-being now be the greatest gift you give your child in the long term?
This is your permission slip to fark the checklists, fark the societal noise, and embrace real recovery, presence, and ease. Because when you care for yourself, you’re not just filling your cup—you’re reshaping how we parent, live, and connect as a whole.
Whether you’re a mum, a soon-to-be parent, or someone holding space for loved ones navigating this wild season of life, this episode is for you. So grab a cuppa (or better yet, let someone make you one!) and join us as we explore the radical, revolutionary act of receiving.
