Ep.02: The Rest We Really Need After Birth

In this episode of Matrescence and Honey, we unpack the difference between sleep and true restoration, using Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith’s 7 types of rest as our guide. From sensory overload to emotional depletion, postpartum rest is more layered than we’ve been taught. Join us as we explore how understanding and honoring each kind of rest can transform recovery, deepen self-compassion, and nourish a new mother’s body, mind, and spirit.
