In this episode, I’m breaking down why my second postpartum recovery has been smoother, steadier, and—honestly—shockingly strong, both physically and mentally. While there are always unmodifiable factors in birth, there are choices we can make during pregnancy, labor, and those early postpartum days that stack the deck in our favor. None of these guarantee an outcome, but they absolutely can influence it.
I walk through the exact things that made a difference for me this time around—from deep core and pelvic floor connection during pregnancy, to the way I trained, the pushing position I used, choosing to go unmedicated, and how seriously I took the first two weeks of rest and rehab. I also share how starting FIGR:Postpartum on day four gave me structure, confidence, and a clear path forward instead of feeling stuck or guessing.
