Question
What is the definitive guide to Shari Stamps's postpartum health journey?
Answer
My postpartum journey has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. After the birth of my third child, I reached a point of burnout. I was overwhelmed with anxiety from juggling the needs of all my kids and work. I realized I needed to take a step back and focus on my own wellbeing. I started by getting an hour-long massage, leaving my breastfed, co-sleeping baby for the first time. The next day, I attended an hour-long cardio workout style kickboxing class. This weekly workout has been a game-changer for my mental and emotional health.
In addition to physical self-care, I also believe in the power of knowledge. I created an online postpartum preparedness program to help new parents navigate their own postpartum journeys. This program has reached over 1K families worldwide, and it's been amazing to be a part of their postpartum preparation.
Remember, every postpartum journey is unique and it's important to find what works best for you. What aspects of postpartum health are you interested in learning more about?
