Podcasts about postpartum

After six births within the system—including a cesarean at 37 weeks due to partial placenta previa and subsequent hospital abuse—Ashleigh knew she was done.Now a mother of nine and a Radical Birth Keeper School graduate, Ashleigh joins me to share her accumulated wisdom from nearly twenty years of mothering and birthing. We met in person at Matriarch Rising Festival, and in this conversation, we explore what it means to truly live the lessons that birth offers us.We discuss the pros and cons of having children present during birth, what it looks like to honor our evolving faith journeys, and how Ashleigh navigated the tension between her freebirth path and her husband's discomfort with it.I also challenge Ashleigh's decision to pull away from her Christian audience, encouraging her to consider what it might mean to let her community see her more deeply. She speaks vulnerably about her own healing from rage and how she now coaches mothers who find themselves lashing out at their children—because she's been there too.Come listen, learn, and receive from a mother of nine whose story carries the depth and clarity only time, experience, and devotion can bring.✨Start Your Journey: The Complete Guide to Freebirth - Our best-selling, self-paced course for women ready to claim their births on their own terms.

Whether it's 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it's running your life. That's why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again. I'm answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I'll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn't make you broken. This isn't about being “fixed.” It's about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Redmond, PharmD, PhD, and founder of Dr. Stephanie's, to explore how pharmacology is transforming the world of supplements and functional medicine. With dual expertise in endocrinology and pharmacotherapy, Dr. Redmond offers a rare perspective on how medications, nutrients, and hormones intersect — and how precision-based formulation is reshaping metabolic health.After years in clinical practice, Dr. Redmond noticed a glaring gap: most supplements on the market are underdosed, underperforming, and poorly understood. Her approach flips the script — using clinically validated, therapeutic dosesof ingredients designed for real efficacy and safety. “It's not about marketing,” she explains. “It's about measurable results.”The conversation dives deep into her breakthrough innovations, including Purify Colostrum, developed using AI-assisted filtration to isolate bioactive glycoproteins compatible with the human body — delivering seven times more anti-inflammatory power than standard colostrum. She also shares insights on her GLP-1 support formulations, designed to complement popular medications like Ozempic by addressing nutrient depletion, digestion, and hormonal balance.Together, Dr. Ekta and Dr. Redmond unpack what ethical, evidence-based supplementation truly looks like — where pharmacology meets function, and science replaces hype.Tune in to hear how Dr. Stephanie Redmond is redefining modern supplementation and why, in today's world, foundational nutrition is no longer optional — it's essential.Learn more about Dr. Stephanie's on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Dr. Redmond's Path from Pharmacy to Endocrinology2:18 – Bridging Medicine, Supplements & Pharmacology4:43 – The Role of Pharmacists in Holistic Care7:09 – The Gap in Supplement Education & Dosing8:58 – Colostrum: Nature's “First Milk” Explained11:05 – Human vs. Bovine Colostrum & Compatibility14:44 – Postpartum, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health19:01 – GLP-1 Support Supplements & Metabolic Health27:27 – The Future of Foundational Wellness & Supplement TestingPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

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!

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.

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.
