127: What No One Tells You About Self-Care After Stillbirth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today I’m talking about the version of self-care no one talks about: the version that feels impossible when you're angry with your body. When you feel like it failed you. When taking care of it feels like a betrayal.
After losing my twins, I didn’t want to nourish or nurture my body—I wanted to punish it. I felt disconnected from it, even disgusted by it. And I know I’m not the only one who’s felt that way.
So this episode is for you if:
- You feel betrayed by your body.
- You resent the idea of “loving” or “caring” for the thing that couldn’t protect your baby.
- And you’re wondering how to even start when you’re not ready to forgive.
I’ll walk you through 3 small, realistic ways to care for your body—even if you’re still angry with it. This isn’t about healing your relationship with your body overnight or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about basic survival care that keeps you functioning through grief... without guilt.
This is honest, gentle, and judgment-free. Just like you deserve.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why “self-care” feels triggering after loss—and what no one says out loud about it
- What I did when I was angry, disconnected, and done trying
- The difference between survival care, punishment, and neglect
- How to separate caring for your body from liking it
- The 3 most realistic, doable self-care practices I used (no bubble baths required)
