What if postpartum care could feel empowering, nourishing, and fully supported — not overwhelming? This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Varisa Perlman, a pediatrician with over 20 years of experience who now works as a holistic health coach and postpartum doula. She’s also an advisor for La Petite Creme, a French diapering lotion rooted in natural care.

In this powerful conversation, we explore what it truly means to prepare for the postpartum season holistically, beyond the baby gear checklists and hospital bags. Dr. Varisa shares supportive strategies for your emotional well-being, physical healing, and how to create a calming, connected environment as you recover.

We cover:

• How to emotionally and mentally prepare for postpartum
• Creating a restful, healing space at home
• Using nutrition and holistic practices to support recovery
• Stress relief and sleep support tools for new moms
• How to involve your partner and support network in postpartum wellness

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or preparing for another round of postpartum, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and better equipped to embrace this tender and transformative time.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing how I’m approaching postpartum differently this time around—and how you can plan ahead too. From setting up tangible support systems to prioritizing self-care, this episode is packed with real talk and resources for a smoother postpartum experience.

Here’s what I’m covering:

• Hiring a postpartum doula (and adding it to my registry as a fund!)
• Creating a list of local support options in advance—including lactation consultants (paid and free)
• Setting up appointments with a pelvic floor physical therapist
• Mental health prep: identifying providers that take my insurance
• Why I’m including chiropractic and acupuncture care postpartum
• How I’m prioritizing nourishment with food delivery services and meal kits
• My renewed focus on self-care—and what that really looks like this time
• Simple ways I’m asking for help (think: visitor task lists!)
• … and more little changes making a big difference

✨ Whether you're a first-time mom or prepping for baby number two, this episode is a gentle reminder: You deserve support too.
