The postpartum period is a whirlwind – and it's easy to put your own needs on the back burner.

In this episode, we're talking about how to nourish your body and support your healing after birth. From nutrient-rich meal ideas to mindset shifts around self-care, you'll learn simple ways to boost your energy, balance your hormones, and feel your best during those early months.

Whether you're breastfeeding, recovering from a C-section, or just trying to stay afloat, these tips are for you!


Liesel Teen, a labor and delivery nurse, hosts Mommy Labor Nurse as a space for honest conversations about pregnancy and birth. Each episode is built on the idea that knowledge can transform fear into confidence for expecting parents. You’ll find a mix of practical, evidence-based discussions on common pregnancy topics, along with interviews featuring a range of birth professionals who share their insights. Perhaps most powerfully, the podcast includes personal birth stories that capture the vast spectrum of real-life experiences, from straightforward deliveries to more complex situations. It’s a resource designed to inform and empower, offering perspectives that help listeners prepare for their own journeys. Remember, the content here is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice from your own care provider. Join Liesel for these weekly conversations that aim to support you through one of life’s most significant transitions.
