Motherhood: The Ultimate Journey of Self-Discovery, Part 1 - Finding Your Own Path with Rose Schieck Artwork

The Postpartum Revolution

Welcome to The Postpartum Revolution! This podcast was born because, as a pelvic health physical therapist, I’ve heard and seen the ways our system has failed postpartum people in America. Newly postpartum people have repeated the same questions to me, with fear in their eyes and fatigue written all over their bodies, and I’ve grown tired of soothing them with the reassurance that it’s “all a part of the process, it’s normal to feel like this”. I began to wonder - what the hell kind of “normal process” is this, that produces tired and scared mothers? While not everyone has a negative experience with childbirth and postpartum, many people do. A lot of factors influence our postpartum experience: understanding how your body recovers, how much community and financial support you have, and how well our society helps to support a new family. My goal is to provide education about the postpartum recovery process, so you can set yourself up for a successful return to the things that bring you joy. I also want to bring awareness to the larger, systemic challenges that pregnant and postpartum people face, so that collectively we can start to turn the tide of our culture, and our children won't be trapped in an unhealthy and unsupported birth and postpartum culture. We have lost our power in the birth and postpartum world, and our loss is directly linked to other people's gain. It's time to take back the power over our bodies, our births, and our postpartum health. We are the change we have been waiting for. Let's go.

Motherhood: The Ultimate Journey of Self-Discovery, Part 1 - Finding Your Own Path with Rose Schieck

January 22, 2021 • Annie Hopkins, Rose Schieck • Season 2 • Episode 33

Rose Schieck did all the right things to prepare for her pregnancy, but what she didn’t prepare for was motherhood and postpartum. Sleep deprivation, anxiety, and depression came full force once she jumped back into work 2 months after becoming a new mom.

After a year of self-doubt, guilt, and way too little sleep, Rose decided she needed to do something for herself. She became a registered yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance.

With a new yogic lens, Rose was able to reevaluate her life priorities and begin walking the path of self-discovery.

She continued her education by training to become an Energy Medicine Yoga Level one teacher and Reiki I & II Master.

With new knowledge and a new appreciation for herself, she was able to prepare herself better for her second birth.

Rose shares tips from her experience on how you too, can enjoy motherhood and start your own journey towards self-discovery.

This is part one of the episode as we dive deeper into how to find yourself during motherhood.
