In today's episode, I'm wrapping up my birth series with something I've been so excited to share — my best postpartum advice (after three very different experiences). I'm currently three months postpartum with baby Sofia, and after walking through this season three times now, I've learned so much about what truly matters, and what doesn't, in those early months after birth.Instead of focusing just on recovery or baby care, this episode is all about the real-life side of postpartum — how to rest, ask for help, nurture your body, and actually enjoy this fleeting season. I'm sharing 13 pieces of advice that go beyond the typical “sleep when the baby sleeps” kind of tips — from taking the rest your body is inviting you into, to embracing freezer meals, saying yes to help, getting ready for the day (even a little bit!), how to make meal times easier, and finding rhythms that actually make you feel like yourself again.Whether you're a first-time mom or welcoming your third (or beyond!), my hope is that this episode reminds you that every postpartum journey is unique. I'm also sharing encouragement for my fellow business owners on planning a real maternity leave and giving yourself permission to rest because your business will still be there when you're ready.Links Mentioned:- Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/321- If you missed the earlier parts of this series, you can go back to listen to:Episode 318: My Pregnancy + Home Birth PlansEpisode 319: Sofia's Home Birth StoryEpisode 320: Your Birth Questions Answered- My best home birth and VBAC resources: elizabethmccravy.com/birth- Colin's birth story: Episode 148- Ethan's birth story: Episode 265- Maternity Leave Prep Episodes: Episodes 139, 276- BTS of my maternity leaves with Colin and Ethan: Episodes 158, 277, 278- Shop our Showit Website Templates (use code BBPODCAST for 10% off!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop - Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/Thanks to our sponsor, Christian Healthcare Ministries!

I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryWhat if the hardest season of your life became the spark for your life's work? We sit down with first-time mom and first-time founder Jill Olish, who launched Mama Outspoken during the pandemic while confronting postpartum anxiety, depression, and rage. Instead of waiting for a better moment, she built a platform that helps mothers find their voice, ask for help, and navigate the messy, unspoken transitions of motherhood.Jill takes us inside the decisions that shaped her path: leaving a rigid job for virtual assistant work, turning lived experience into a podcast and a book, and building a supportive village focused on maternal mental health. We talk about the reality behind the nursery photos—emergency cesarean recovery, intrusive thoughts, sleepless nights, and the isolation of early parenthood—alongside the practices that made entrepreneurship possible with a newborn. Her simple, powerful system “sticky note time” shows how to dump the mental load, prioritize what matters, and create momentum without burning out.Across the conversation we unpack sustainable growth, boundaries that match school calendars, and why rest is a strategy for resilience. Jill's mantra you are the mom you were intended to be reframes perfectionism and offers a lifeline to anyone feeling behind.

Jessica was a career-driven woman who never thought she wanted children, until a dream job fell through and an experience at a spiritual retreat awakened her desire to become a mother. After joyfully conceiving, she miscarried at twelve weeks, enduring not only heartbreak but also a traumatic experience with the medical care she received. Over the following year, Jessica focused on healing, and when she became pregnant again, she was amazed to discover her second baby shared the same due date as her first! With no midwives available nearby, Jessica decided to take her care into her own hands. Supported only by her husband and a close friend, she prepared for birth by immersing herself in empowering birth stories. Her baby's arrival was a beautiful, transformative experience that left her in awe of her own strength. Recorded just eight weeks postpartum, Jessica reflects on her journey through loss, healing, birth, and the early challenges of postpartum life and breastfeeding. *Please note that this episode contains a graphic description of medical trauma at around the 22 minute mark.

This week, I am joined by Celia from the Bay Area, California, who shares her journey from birthing with medical midwives and working as a doula, to stepping fully into sovereign birth work and choosing freebirth with her fourth child.Born at home herself, Celia's path was forever changed when she read Portal and began to unravel everything she thought she knew about birth. As a graduate of the Radical Birth Keeper School, she now carries this work forward in her own community.Celia reflects on her four births, including the painful memory of her midwife pulling out her placentas. She shares how, in her fourth and most recent birth, allowing her placenta to be born in her own way and her own time became her favorite part of the entire experience.In this conversation, Celia names what it means to let birth be simple, to trust herself, and to claim it all.✨ Join The Lighthouse — A private, life-changing membership space for conscious, sovereign women.

In this episode, I sit down again with Mindy English, Orthopedic & Pelvic Health PT with a background in sports and orthopedics based here in Eagle, Idaho. Mindy and I have done several episodes together as part of our pelvic health series for female athletes, and this one takes on a topic that doesn't get enough attention: constipation, gut health, and how they connect to pelvic floor symptoms.   We dive into how digestion, nutrition, and pelvic health are deeply interconnected—and how constipation can affect everything from athletic performance to prolapse symptoms. Mindy shares what she sees clinically in both adults and kids, and we talk through why simply “eating more fiber” often isn't the full solution.   This conversation is real, relevant, and full of practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and anyone who's ever struggled with gut issues or pelvic health symptoms.       Follow Mindy English for more pelvic health insights: @mindy.english.dpt       Learn more about the Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Certification: https://join.pregnancyandpostpartumathleticism.com/ppa-cert     Are you a pregnant combat athlete?

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Amanda pulls back the curtain on her own postpartum season—navigating life as a new mom of three while running a business. She shares the story of a recent "crash out" spiral and the unlikely tool that gave her the reality check she desperately needed.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the feeling that you're constantly "failing" is often a sign of an impossible equation, not a personal flaw, and how to spot the signs of a capacity crash out.A practical, step-by-step exercise to get an objective look at your true workload vs. your actual capacity (and why a robot might be the mirror you need).How to dismantle the cultural myth of "doing it all" and start separating your self-worth from your productivity.The two strategic choices you have when the math doesn't add up, and how to start implementing them with self-compassion.3 Takeaways:Do the Math on Your Life, you might be trying to solve an impossible equation without even realizing it.You have two options: Do less or get more support (usually both)You're not the problem, the expectation is.

Guys…GABIE IS A MOM!!!! She's enjoying time with her little guy, so in the meantime, you're going to be getting some solo episodes from Clancy (with hopefully some guests?!). Today she's sharing (very unprofessional advice/just her own opinions) on a variety of topics from how to make a career change to making mom friends to setting boundaries with in-laws. Enjoy!

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Dr. Amy Tiffany—physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, author, and mom—about navigating high-achiever burnout, redefining “balance,” and protecting mental and physical health while building a career and raising a family. We dig into prioritization frameworks (faith, family, fitness), saying no without guilt, postpartum and perimenopause realities, and why employers should normalize women's health conversations. Practical strategies include micro-workouts, habit redesign, and value-aligned boundaries. If you're juggling business goals, parenting, and wellbeing, this episode gives clear, actionable steps that translate across work and home—no fluff, just what works.   About the Guest  : Dr. Amy Tiffany is a physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and author focused on humanizing healthcare and rebuilding trust in medicine. She supports ambitious women through postpartum, perimenopause, and metabolic shifts so they can reclaim energy, confidence, and peace of mind.   Key Takeaways: Balance is a prioritization problem, not a perfection goal—decide your top three and act accordingly. “Work is a rubber ball; family and health are glass.” Protect the glass first. Guilt often stems from inherited expectations; replace “shoulds” with value-aligned choices. Postpartum complications (e.g., preeclampsia, gestational diabetes) predict long-term cardiometabolic risk—plan follow-ups. Perimenopause can intermittently impair sleep, memory, and productivity; workplaces should normalize support. Micro-workouts work: stack 10-minute, moderate-to-vigorous bouts to meet movement goals. Reduce friction to act (e.g., leave walking shoes by the treadmill, pre-stage gear). Say “no” to preserve quality—saying yes to everything undercuts what you claim to value. Thought hygiene matters: notice body signals (tension, stomach tightness) and audit the thought driving them. “CEO moms” need systems: one volunteer commitment at a time, scheduled health checks, and simplified meal planning. Seek external perspective (coach/clinician/mentor) early; sustainable change is iterative. Outcome > optics: redesign routines to match your season of life, not an idealized standard.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram/Threads: @dramytiffany Website: http://www.vitalitymwc.org/ Book: The Postpartum Pivot (available on Amazon/Kindle)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

What if we learnt that our menstrual cycles were a tool for growth. It is something that makes us women special and powerful. If we are looking at helping women see the Shakti or the power in themselves, the road begins at Menarche. I have been meaning to have an episode on this topic and keenly follow the work of elder home birth Midwife of 30 years, Jane Hardwicke. She is a grandmother , teacher, writer and educator in the realms of menarche, childbirth and menopause. She offers training on the spiritual practice of menstruation, pregnancy and founded 'The School of Shamanic Womancraft' and she has created the first holistic menstrual cycle charting app – Spinning Wheels.Focus points: 1. Menarche as a spiritual pathway.2. Role of mums in passing down the wisdom of Menarche.3. Are we victims of our periods or there is more power, wisdom and teachings it can unleash if we knew better.4. Role of fathers in setting the right protective environments for menarche.5. Our association of pain through Menarche and its impact on Childbirth. 6. The significance of building rituals for Menarche , Childbirth and Postpartum.Tune in now !More about Jane:Website: https://janehardwickecollings.com/E courses: https://janehardwickecollings.com/ecourse/Support the showSign up for Childbirth Preparation Programs! visit https://birthagni.com/services#childbirth-preparation-programs https://birthagni.com/copy-of-services#breastfeeding-preparation-program This episode is supported and made possible by podcast recording and hosting tool Zencastr, it is impeccably made!
