Maximizing Your Postpartum Energy
$14.99
Did you know that you expend more energy as a postpartum breastfeeding mom than you do while pregnant? Pregnancy is taxing on your energy but postpartum is even more so.
Postpartum is also an expansive season of life. Many women feel the tugging of inspiration and exhaustion. Fresh ideas coming flowing in with new life and simultaneously you are couch bound, nursing a newborn.
Your body feels lighter and more movement feels possible. When should you start exercising more? How hard should you push? Can you do too much or sabotage your milk supply?
You are noticeably hungrier with breastfeeding, so what should you be eating? What will fuel your body for energy and milk supply?
What about the things you put off at the end of pregnancy? They are now piling up and people seem to think that you are back to normal and can just carry on with life. That isn't true though and you feel it in your core. How do you set boundaries and what boundaries are worth setting?
You also feel a need to make shifts in life because there is a new life and so change is inevitable. You will likely upset some people and that stresses you out too.
What stresses should you be avoiding and are some stresses necessary?
What about the sleepless nights all strung together? How do you manage that and continue on without insanity or despair setting in?
I've been right there with all of these questions!
I've also learned a lot over the years and I want to share it with you. There is a way to protect the mother/baby bond, care for your health, allow the expansion creativity and thrive while doing it.
Catch the replay on this powerful masterclass as I do a deep dive into how you can Maximize Your Postpartum Energy!!!

Just listened to the replay from your call last night. It was AMAZING. What spoke to me the most was your simplification of boundaries as just being us telling the truth. For me, it’s been so hard learning to set the boundaries in kindness and then working with God to let go of irrational guilt that usually followed. I love the idea that it’s just the truth 🙌🏼 because then I know it’s kind and loving, as the truth always is. I’m writing that down and posting it where I see it daily! All it, the message was so brilliantly articulated around taking care of ourselves mindfully and truly made me think hard about how to utilize the miracles that come with this maternity season (energy, creativity, increased feelings of love and bonding with our families), listening to our instincts and needs, and being okay with the sometimes complete stillness we are called to to just be with our babies. Thank you so much for putting that all together it was so so so helpful 🤍

Thank you so much for creating this resource! I was sad to miss the call but so thankful for all the resources you sent with the replay. I printed off the PDF's and just finished filling them out. I am due with my 3rd bio baby in November but it will be our 6th in the home as we have guardianship of 3 kids through foster care, so this resource will serve me well as I continue to plan for the postpartum season. I loved how seen I felt by you with not sleep training and still making the time to fit some things in that will serve my household, my husband, myself, and help me to be flexible but also have some structure, something I am really not great at naturally. I am very much a go with the flow and it has often lead to overwhelm. The resources you provided made it simple to fill out, even the meal plan ones, which I typically loathe. I was just telling my husband that I want to have a list of meals to pick from with grocery shopping and ones I know the kids will actually like so I am thankful for this! I am excited to share my goals with my husband and let him know how he can best serve me and help me feel nourished and energized postpartum, as well as sharing my goals with my postpartum doula we are hiring for the second time. I am planning to book a 1:1 coaching session to discuss more about some goals I have and pick your brain for some wisdom and advice to best carry out my future plans with birthwork and supporting moms in my community. Thank you so much again!
