Here’s something no one puts in the baby books: Postpartum recovery doesn’t just happen.

It’s not some magical healing process that kicks in once the hospital mesh undies come off. And it definitely doesn’t run on autopilot while you’re up all night feeding a newborn and googling “Is it normal for my baby to sound like a tiny dinosaur when breathing?”

Postpartum recovery needs intention, support, and a whole lot of grace. If you’re someone who likes structure (hi, fellow spreadsheet queens 👋), this is for you. Let’s talk about the three most important things you can do to take control of your healing after birth

Have you ever wondered how your mindset can transform your fitness, nutrition, and overall postpartum recovery?

We’re diving into one of the most important (yet often overlooked) parts of the postpartum journey: your mindset. No one talks about it, but the strength of your mind plays a huge role in how you navigate this life-changing season. So let’s chat about how to build a resilient, empowered mindset that will carry you through motherhood with confidence and joy. Trust me, this is the one thing that will make all the difference.

Let’s talk about something that feels really uncomfortable for a lot of us: asking for help.

If just reading that sentence made you feel itchy or tense or like you need to go reorganize the baby’s dresser for the third time… this one’s for you.

Because somewhere along the way, a lot of us absorbed this unspoken rule: A “good” mom handles everything on her own. She anticipates every need. She never complains. She bounces back instantly and still has snacks organized by category in the pantry.

As moms, we’re often told to push through burnout and juggle it all, but that mindset can be so draining, especially when we’re trying to keep up with the endless demands of motherhood. Enter Kasia Stiggelbout, the founder of Inflow, a wellness brand designed to help women heal from burnout by aligning productivity tools with the natural rhythms of the female cycle. In this conversation, we dive into how understanding and honoring our cycles can help combat burnout, reduce stress, and empower moms to live more balanced lives.

Here’s the thing about becoming a mom: it’s beautiful and magical and life-changing...

And also messy, exhausting, and full of moments that make you question everything you thought you knew.

One minute, you’re rocking your baby like a pro. The next, you’re crying because you microwaved your coffee four times and still didn’t drink it. (We’ve all been there.)

That’s where self-compassion comes in—not as a cute Pinterest quote, but as a lifeline. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about treating yourself like a human being (because, plot twist: you are one), especially when things feel hard.

You’ve probably heard all about the registry must-haves, the birth plan options, and the ten thousand different ways to swaddle a baby. But what about preparing emotionally for postpartum?

Spoiler alert: Emotional prep is just as important (if not more) than packing your hospital bag. And no, it’s not about pretending everything’s going to be sunshine and sleepy snuggles. It’s about getting real with yourself before baby arrives—so when those big feelings hit (and they will), you’re not blindsided.
