  • Beautifully Empowering ✨

    I have always said that Postpartum lasts way beyond the socially normal postpartum of a few months or year. So when I talked to Chelsea and she was sharing her philosophy with me of Postpartum is forever I was soooo excited!! And then found out she has a podcast dedicated to the topic!! Chelsea, thank you for taking this topic on, bringing together and empowering mothers at all stages of their mothering journey 💓

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

145. She Didn't Want to Be a Mom — Until She Was One with Julie Gonzalves
Q: What is one piece of advice that you wish every new mom knew going into motherhood?
There are so many things, but the core is that losing sight of yourself is a natural part of caring for a newborn, and that's okay because you're literally keeping a human alive. It's important to acknowledge the value of those days and not rush to 'return to normal' because those moments are foundational to who you become as a mother and as a person.
143. Infertility, IVF & Postpartum: What If Motherhood Doesn’t Feel How You Expected? with Lauren Dewey
Q: What advice would you give other moms navigating big life changes?
Advocate for yourself relentlessly. Trust your gut, seek second opinions when something feels off, and build a supportive village around you—whether through a care package, a text, or a meal. Show up for friends in vulnerable seasons, and you'll create a community that truly sustains you.
143. Infertility, IVF & Postpartum: What If Motherhood Doesn’t Feel How You Expected? with Lauren Dewey
Q: How did your corporate career influence your decision to start your own business?
I spent years climbing the corporate ladder and believed stability was the goal, but infertility and a later layoff made me question that path. The wake-up call came when I chose to prioritize time with my son and pursue a venture that aligns with my values and needs as a mom.
135. Is This Normal? Newborn Feeding Questions Every Mom Asks with Ashley Feeley, IBCLC
Q: What is considered normal in the early days of feeding a newborn?
Normal varies, but early feeds are often frequent with attention to baby's cues; weight gain, suck-swallow patterns, and responsive feeding guide progress, with professional support to tailor timelines.
132. Are Your "People-Pleasing" Habits Sabotaging Your Postpartum? with Leah Andreoni, MA, LMFT, PMH-C
Q: What advice do you have for women who are starting to see the signs of exhaustion or resentment related to people-pleasing?
One, good job for noticing. That has to be the first step. Noticing how your body feels when you're stepping over boundaries. Pause before you say yes or no and check in with yourself about what you really want.
