Motherhood: The Ultimate Journey of Self-Discovery, Part 2 - Claiming Your Space 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 2 - Claiming Your Space with Rose Schieck

January 29, 2021 • Annie Hopkins • Season 2 • Episode 34

Part two of Rose Schieck’s episode is here! Last week, Rose shared her experience of motherhood and how she struggled to find herself in the chaos... if you haven't listened to it yet, make sure it's on your list!

Rose starts this episode by reading a powerful message from Barbara Brennan’s book, Light Emerging.

In part two, we dive a bit deeper into how our energies affect our children inside and out of the womb and how we can better recognize when we subconsciously act out from our own desperation.

We continue the discussion on finding those pockets of space for yourself, even if it’s one minute of breathwork or just staying in bed that little bit longer.

We need to make ourselves a priority. We do this by letting go of perfectionism and taking time for ourselves. And Rose will unapologetically preach this message to whoever needs to hear it.
