★ 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.
