In this episode, we’re joined by Tara Ghosh, women’s hormone health coach, to talk about something that hardly anyone prepares you for...the massive hormonal crash that happens after birth.
Tara shares her wisdom on the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and how hormones affect everything from your mental health to your ability to cope in those wild early weeks.
We discuss:
👉 Why postnatal hormonal shifts hit so hard (and why it’s not just “baby blues”)
👉 How your cycle and emotional patterns are connected
👉 The importance of postpartum nourishment, rest & support
👉 Why it’s okay to prioritise yourself—yes, even before the baby
👉 Cultural practices that actually honour the fourth trimester
This episode is packed with compassion, clarity, and the kind of real talk we ALL need when navigating the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum life.
