## Resource

What do you REALLY need to know about caring for your postpartum body? To answer this question I invited Ruth Macy, a pelvic health physical therapist, and Courtney Naliboff, a teacher, writer, and musician, on to the podcast to talk about all things postpartum recovery and self-compassion. Together we explore: The inspiration behind their book "Your Postpartum Body: The Complete Guide to Healing After Pregnancy" The concept of radical self-acceptance and compassion in healing after birth The essential needs for postpartum recovery: rest, hydration, nutrition, and support (and how to make them a priority) The challenges/human cost of lactation and the mental health impact of weaning Systemic barriers to postpartum care and practical solutions to navigate them Learn more about Courtney and Ruth’s book here !
