The fourth trimester is real, intense, and wildly under-discussed. Christin, Joyce, and Chloe sit down for an honest conversation about the first 12 weeks after birth. What's happening in the body, why "being cleared at six weeks" is not the same as being fully healed, and how physical recovery, nutrition, nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and societal pressure all collide at once. They unpack why postpartum isn't a bounce-back phase, how under-eating and rushing recovery can backfire, and what slowing down, deep nourishment, and rebuilding really look like in practice. The conversation also dives into cultural gaps in postpartum care, the impact of social media expectations, and why community, support, and asking for help matter more than doing it all yourself. This one is for new moms, seasoned moms, and anyone supporting someone through the fourth trimester who wants real talk, not platitudes (and permission to take their time).
