Preparation is everything when it comes to preventing postpartum depression and protecting your mental health. 🌸 Here are 5 simple yet vital steps to care for you:

First, comment the word “PLAN” to get my Postpartum Planning Guide (+ save 20%)

1️⃣ Prepare for Nourishment🍲
Stock up on warming, nutrient-rich meals like soups and stews. If no one can cook for you, freeze meals ahead of time to stay nourished.

🥣Start with my FREE ebook Post-Birth Recovery Meal Plan (8 essential postpartum recipes-link in bio)

2️⃣ Create a Healing Nest 🛌
Set up your bedroom for your care: a heating pad, comfy pillows, snacks, water, and all essentials by your bedside. Make it easy to rest and recover.

3️⃣ Plan for Deep Rest😴
Aim for 4-5 stretches of deep sleep (2-4 hours each) every 24 hours. This requires teamwork with your partner and family—it’s non-negotiable for your mental health.

4️⃣ Ask for Warmth + Loving Touch💕🔥
Warmth and healing touch, like heating pads, warm socks, massages, and sitz baths help you feel loved and supported as you recover. This care nourishes your spirit and body.

5️⃣ Process Your Birth Story ✍️
Take time to journal and reflect on your birth experience. Using my birth story questions can help you heal and integrate your journey. (Grab my free journal - link in bio)

When you are nourished and cared for as deeply as you care for your baby, you set the foundation for a thriving postpartum. 💕

Want to go deeper? Comment “PLAN” for my free postpartum planning guide. You’re never alone in this journey! ❤️

💕Loving you from here,
Shelley

What a mother eats immediately after childbirth plays a critical role in her recovery—physically, mentally, emotionally and hormonally.

Comment the word “SAFETY” for my FREE MEAL PLAN.

During the first 24 hours after birth her nutrient needs are at an all-time high.

Her body is undergoing a series of FIVE PROFOUND shifts—all at once:

1️⃣ End of Pregnancy (she just metabolically ran 40 marathons)

2️⃣ Childbirth—metabolic equivalent of running another marathon (26.2 miles)—her body is also healing birth injuries, replenishing lost blood, etc.

3️⃣ Hormonal Fluctuation—massive, immediate changes in hormone structure in her body

4️⃣ Lactation Begins—producing colostrum and milk is equivalent to running 7 miles per day. She doesn’t get a break from this athletic endeavor!

5️⃣ Dramatic Brain Changes—Her brain is shifting into caregiving mode, called Neuroplasticity—neurons depend on the food we eat for production.

All of these processes require nutrition from food to function properly.

This meal is not just momentary sustenance; it’s the foundation for her recovery and overall well-being.

🙏🏻 Please follow my meal plan and be ready to nourish yourself immediately after birth🙏🏻

You will be SO GLAD you did!

Join us for this VERY important discussion about Bridging The Gap between Parents and Grandparents during the 1st 40 Days Postpartum.

We’re living in an interesting time in the Western World. We want independence, yet we need help! We want grandparents to support us, but so many have lost the wisdom of traditional postpartum care, that their well-meaning efforts add more stress than relief.

So how do we bridge this gap?

Asking grandparents to stay away during one of the most vulnerable times in our lives might feel like the best answer, but we desperately need help!

And....if grandparents genuinely want to help-how can we create a harmonious experience for everyone?

In this talk, we’ll explore:

👉The current state of the relationship between parents and grandparents during postpartum

👉How grandparents can show up to honor the parent’s needs during the 1st 40 days after birth

👉How new parents can keep open hearts while also setting healthy boundaries

👉How grandparents can own their wisdom while also respecting parents’ need to do things their own way

Ultimately-what both Kimberly and I want is inter-generational harmony during the postpartum time.

We hope this discussion helps to spearhead a movement to bridge the gap between generations.💕☮️✨

Leave questions in the comments and we will do our best to answer them!

Loving you from here,
💕Shelley + Kimberly
