8 Months Postpartum: An Honest Check-In (Solo Episode)
About this episode
Lo shares her honest update on life eight months postpartum, discussing the complexities of motherhood, self-care, and community support.
Seven months postpartum, and I’m finally starting to feel a little more like myself- but motherhood has a funny way of making every step back toward yourself feel complicated. In this solo episode, I’m sharing an honest update on where I am now: taking my first girls’ trip without my daughter, navigating the guilt of going back to work, rebuilding my strength after pregnancy and a C-section, and realizing just how long “postpartum” can actually last. We talk about the pressure to be everything at once, why taking care of yourself can feel strangely selfish after becoming a mom, and the village that’s made it possible for me to find a rhythm that finally feels sustainable. Plus, an update on Nell, what we’ve learned about her CMPA, and a few of the baby products we’re loving right now. — In this episode: - The anxiety and guilt around leaving your baby for the first time - Going back to work and missing the moments you’re not there for - Rebuilding strength after pregnancy and a C-section - Why I regret not exercising more during pregnancy - Pelvic floor health and the things women should be taught much earlier - Why postpartum can still feel very real seven months later…
