12 Months Postpartum: 7 Things That Actually Helped me Recover

The first year postpartum is such a wild mix of sweetness, exhaustion, growth, and transition. With my baby girl recently turning one, I found myself reflecting on everything this past year held — especially what it took to recover after my third c-section and slowly rebuild my strength.

In this episode of the Strong Mama Podcast, I’m sharing an honest look at my 12-month postpartum journey and the real timeline of recovery that most women aren’t told about. Postpartum healing isn’t a 6-week finish line. For many of us, it takes a full year (or more) to feel grounded, strong, and comfortable in our bodies again.

I break down the seven steps that made the biggest difference in my physical and mental recovery this year.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • A “normal” and realistic timeline to feel recovered from birth

  • Why so many moms feel frustrated by how long it takes

  • 7 key steps (plus 1 Bonus) that helped me recover after my 3rd baby
