★ TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST ★
Everything they don't tell you to expect — after you're expecting.
The birth class covered the baby. The registry covered the nursery. But nobody gave you a roadmap for this — the exhaustion that doesn't lift, the sleep deprivation that builds, the breastfeeding questions nobody warned you about, and the quiet, unsettling feeling that the version of you that you once knew is nowhere to be found.
The Postpartum Better podcast picks up where everyone else left off. Every week, your host Chelsea Barbine brings you honest conversations, real strategies, and the support that should have come with the baby. From postpartum recovery to breastfeeding, from surviving on no sleep to returning to work and figuring out who you are when you get there — this show covers all of it.
Chelsea is a postpartum health coach, mom of two, and founder of Postpartum Better. She has supported thousands of moms through the postpartum period — and lived two very different versions of it herself.
Imagine feeling like yourself again. Not the pre-baby version — a newer, stronger you who knows who you are, what you need, and doesn’t have to choose between motherhood and your sense of self.
Motherhood reshapes you. It doesn't erase you.

147. How a Mom Walk Saved This New Mom's Life with Jamie Oneal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the thing that saved your life was as simple as a walk?
Today I'm sitting down with Jamie Oneal — founder of the Mom Walk Collective, the force behind the Mile a Day challenge, and as of today, walking 30 miles to raise awareness for maternal mental health. I mean, come on.
Jamie's story starts long before the collective. A traumatic brain injury, a divorce while pregnant, a NICU stay — and a postpartum journey she had to navigate largely alone. What carried her through? Moving her body, finding her people, and one walk that turned into a viral video that turned into a movement now in over 700 cities worldwide.
In this episode we cover:
- Walking as a postpartum tool — and why it's more powerful than you think
- What it actually means to build a village and be a villager
- Why vulnerability is the gateway to finding your people
- How Jamie built a global movement starting with one free walk and one yes
Send this one to the mom who needs to know someone gets it. She's going to want to find her nearest Mom Walk after this.
