Return to Rest: How I’m Planning My Postpartum Season Differently | Reyna Wilson
In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing how I’m preparing for postpartum differently this time around: with rest, rhythm, and real-life support. I open up about what I learned the first time (especially after a birth that didn’t go as planned), and why I’m leaning into nourishment, boundaries, and holistic care for this next season of motherhood. If you’ve ever felt like postpartum caught you off guard—or if you’re currently pregnant and want to prepare well without the pressure—this episode is for you. This is not a conversation about doing more. It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down, receive support, and embrace healing on every level.
Whether you’re a new mama, pregnant, or want to know how to show up for a friend in the fourth trimester, I hope this episode reminds you: postpartum isn’t a performance—it’s a passage.
Episode Highlights:
Why I’m planning for this postpartum season so differently than my first
The culture of “bouncing back” and how I’m choosing to reject it
What it means to return to rest—and why that’s not weakness, but wisdom
Gentle rhythms I’m building in spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally
How I’m setting boundaries and preparing nourishment before baby arrives
A peek at the holistic tools and support I’m prioritizing this time
Why small, consistent care matters more than “doing it all right”
