Wondering if you really need to wait for your 6-week postpartum clearance before starting to move your body again? In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin unpack what that “6-week green light” from your OB or midwife actually means — and why it's not a magic switch that signals your body is ready for full workouts.

They discuss what gets checked during that appointment, why recovery timelines look different for everyone, and how to safely reconnect with your body before jumping back into pre-pregnancy or pregnancy-style workouts.

You’ll learn:

  • What postpartum clearance actually involves
  • Why “healed” doesn’t always mean “ready” for exercise
  • How to begin moving safely before or after the 6-week mark
  • The 5 foundational steps to rebuilding strength postpartum — including breathwork, core connection, and mobility
  • Why slow, strategic movement is key for long-term strength and recovery

If you’re in those early weeks after birth and wondering how to get started — this is the episode for you
