"Saying 'no' to things that drain your energy is saying 'yes' to your well-being. And remember; NO ....is a complete sentence."
Alright, providers—let’s talk about something we all know moms desperately need but rarely prioritize: boundaries. If you’re a postpartum provider or professional, this episode is your go-to guide for helping mothers reclaim their energy and well-being by setting boundaries that actually work.
Setting limits around time, rest, and even family relationships isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the key to preventing postpartum burnout, resentment, and that constant sense of depletion. This episode digs into the practical side of boundary setting—from the “how” to the “why”—so you can give your clients the real-life tools they need to sustain their energy and mental health in motherhood.
