Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As moms, our bodies are not projects to fix. They are part of God’s design, and postpartum healing is a process that deserves care, grace, and support.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, discouraged, or unsure how to rebuild trust with your body after pregnancy and birth, this episode will give you simple and compassionate steps to begin again.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Honoring the physical and emotional journey your body has been through
- Starting with small, mindful movements instead of intense exercise
- Practicing stewardship of our bodies rather than criticism or perfection
- Seeking guidance and support when your body needs extra help healing
These are not steps to rush your recovery. They are invitations to approach your healing with patience, grace, and curiosity.
