Navigating the Fourth Trimester with Rachel Taylor: Essential Insights for Postpartum Recovery

Postpartum recovery is far more than a six-week checkup—it's a profound physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that deserves greater care and attention. In this episode, we’re joined by Rachel Taylor, a registered nurse with 15 years of experience in mother-baby care and author of After Baby Comes: Physical, Spiritual and Emotional Recovery for Postpartum Moms.

Rachel shares powerful insights into the often-overlooked fourth trimester, offering hope and practical wisdom for new mothers navigating this tender season. We discuss:

• Why postpartum is a transition, not a permanent state
• How to distinguish baby blues from postpartum depression and anxiety
• The truth about physical recovery timelines and why it takes longer than six weeks
• Simple yet powerful practices like diaphragmatic breathing to aid healing
• How spiritual rhythms can shift in this season without guilt
• The importance of community and creating a “how you can help me” list before birth
• Why you are uniquely designed to be the mother your child needs

If you’re in the postpartum season—or love someone who is—you’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and equipped.
