Nina Spears: "Still Feel 'Postpartum?' How to Heal—even Long After the Baby Comes"

Author: Cloud10 September 28, 2026 Duration: 40:13
You know that voice that says, "I should be over this by now"? Nina Spears has worked with over 800 families as a birthing and postpartum doula, and she has a message for that voice when it comes to postpartum healing: STOP. In this session, Nina unpacks why postpartum recovery isn't about returning to who you were—it's about becoming who you're meant to be. We talk matrescence, the myth of the six-week bounce-back, why moms extend grace to everyone but themselves, and how healing actually happens in community, not isolation. Whether you're freshly postpartum or your youngest is in middle school, this one will hit you where you need it.

Monica Packer, a coach and host, guides About Progress with a refreshingly grounded perspective. She operates from a simple but powerful idea: meaningful change in our health, fitness, education, and mental well-being isn't about becoming a flawless machine. Instead, this podcast explores the tangible, often messy steps of real growth. You'll hear conversations that feel like a supportive talk with a clear-eyed friend-someone who offers both compassion and a necessary nudge forward. Each episode is designed to move you from intention to action, focusing on strategies that integrate into an imperfect life. The discussions naturally span the categories of self-improvement, from practical fitness tips to mental health insights, all without demanding perfection. This isn't about theoretical ideals; it's about what works when you're juggling the complexities of daily living. Tune in for a resource that feels both gentle and effective, a space where progress is measured in sustainable shifts rather than dramatic overhauls. The About Progress podcast, from Cloud10, builds a community around this practical approach, offering listeners the tools to grow in ways that genuinely stick. You can expect candid stories, actionable advice, and a consistent reminder that moving forward is always possible, exactly where you are.
