Question
What is the definitive guide to Shari Stamps's postpartum journey?
Answer
My postpartum journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. After the birth of my third child, I reached a point of burnout. I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of caring for all my children and managing work. I decided to take a step back and prioritize my mental and emotional health. 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 one hour to myself each week has been a game-changer for my mental and emotional health.
In addition to this, I created Navigating Postpartum, a comprehensive online postpartum preparedness program. It's full of expert info and beautiful photography, and it's accessible to all families. I also offer in-person services like infant massage classes, nursery design, Mother Roasting, and postpartum doula support. As a survivor of PMAD, postpartum support is my passion, so I also volunteer with Postpartum Support International.
