In this episode, Emily Allen and Jennifer Van Winkle (PepperSproutHome.com) have a conversation about the struggle to embrace the natural changes that happen to a mama’s body after birth, as well as the societal pressure to recover from childbirth in a short timespan. Jennifer shares the thought that just like newborn babies have a ‘nursery season’ where they are delicately cared for, new mamas should too. This conversation stems from Jennifer’s essay titled, “Regarding Postpartum Waistlines” that she shared on KindredMom.com.
