What I'm Doing to Prepare for Postpartum

JORDAN LEE DOOLEY
About this episode

Preparing for a new baby is exciting—but so much of the focus often goes to the nursery, baby clothes, and gear. This time, Jordan is putting more intention into preparing herself so she can recover well and truly enjoy those first precious weeks.

In this episode, Jordan shares the lessons she learned from her first postpartum experience and how she’s approaching birth and recovery differently this time—so she can feel more supported, more prepared, and more present with her family.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why prioritizing her own recovery can change her entire postpartum experience
  • How she’s preparing nourishing freezer meals without feeling overwhelmed
  • The breastfeeding refreshers she’s taking before baby arrives
  • How she’s thoughtfully choosing and building a supportive birth team
  • What more holistic, comprehensive postpartum care can look like
  • Simple ways she’s helping her older children adjust to life with a newborn
