Episode 2: The Fourth Trimester

The fourth trimester is one of the biggest transitions you’ll ever experience—and one of the least talked about. In this episode, we’re getting honest about what those first weeks after birth actually feel like. Not just newborn care, but the full-body, full-life recalibration that happens physically, mentally, emotionally, and inside your relationships. We walk through what’s normal (and what might catch you off guard), from recovery and hormones to sleep, identity shifts, and the reality of adjusting to life with a baby. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this part?”—this episode is for you. Whether you’re preparing for postpartum or already in the middle of it, this conversation will help you feel more grounded, more informed, and a whole lot less alone.
