#76: Here’s How DAD Can Prepare For and Help With Postpartum Recovery

Postpartum isn't just a transition for moms—it’s a huge adjustment for dads, too. In this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Tyler, to talk about how husbands can prepare for postpartum and show up in the best way possible. We cover what dads can do during labor, the first 72 hours, and the early weeks postpartum to support both mama and baby. Whether you're a first-time dad or looking to do things differently this time around, this episode is full of practical advice to help you navigate this season with confidence.
