An Unfiltered Conversation about Postpartum

This week on Always Here, we’re getting honest about postpartum. We talk about the emotional highs and lows after birth, recovering physically and mentally, the unexpected hormone crash after weaning, birth stories, and the small wins that remind you you’re finally starting to feel like yourself again. Whether you’re in the thick of postpartum or supporting someone who is, we hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.
