Jess For Moms Podcast
As a post-birth coach, I'm here to help bridge the gap from delivery of your baby to the 6 week appointment (and beyond into motherhood).
There are a lot of resources for taking care of your baby. While that is super important, this podcast is different. This is a resource JUST for moms.
I'm here to help you take care of you so that you can thrive in the postpartum/new mom stage instead of just survive. And when you are taking great care of yourself, you will take great care of your baby too. I promise.

The Postpartum Stage Does Not Have to be Scary
The postpartum stage doesn't have to be scary.
When I had my first baby I would describe myself as more "naive" when it came to what to expect in the postpartum stage. After my experience, I shifted to more of a scared state - scared to ever go through that stage again. That was obviously not a state I wanted to stay in.
I decided that I needed to shift from "scared" to "prepared".
Today I am sharing the three things that helped me do this, and the three things that I help other expectant or new moms do.
- Creating a Postpartum Plan
- Ask for help
- Maintaining perspective
You do not have complete control over how labor and delivery goes, if you tear or have a c-section, how breastfeeding goes, how your baby sleeps, etc. But you do have control over these three things - you can be prepared by creating and implementing a postpartum plan, you can identify areas where you need help and ask for that help, and you can maintain the perspective that this stage will pass and will not last forever.
