#183: what I'll be doing post partum instead of trying to 'bounce back'

In this solo episode, I share why I’m not planning to “bounce back” after birth and what I’ll focus on instead: caring for my baby, caring for my body, and letting my recovery unfold with respect, flexibility, and support.

We’ll talk about:

How bounce-back culture fuels body checking, comparison, and self-objectification
What positive body image actually means (it isn’t “loving how you look”) and why it supports healthier eating and movement
Embodiment as a practical skill set for pregnancy and postpartum
The mindset I’m taking into postpartum: nourishment, movement as possible, and honest communication about needs
How I prepared during pregnancy: flexible training, regular eating that includes convenience and pleasure, breathwork/deep core work, and proactive conversations with my partner

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a grounded alternative to appearance-focused goals and a permission-based way to recover.
