About this episode

Ollie Whitney shares insights on postpartum recovery, addressing breastfeeding pain and diastasis recti.

Joining us from Australia just three months postpartum, Ollie Whitney shares an honest look at life in the fourth trimester—with her baby in her arms and motherhood fresh in her mind. We discuss how to stay motivated to move after birth, the neck, shoulder, and upper-back pain many women experience while breastfeeding, and practical strategies for improving posture during those long feeding sessions. Ollie also breaks down what diastasis recti really is, how to assess it, and safe ways to begin rebuilding core strength after pregnancy. Whether you're a new mom, expecting, or supporting someone through postpartum recovery, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and reassurance.
