About this listen

In this episode of Postpartum Liberation, Danielle explores why postpartum care so often falls short—even when it’s well-intentioned—and what becomes possible when healing, skill, and liberation are no longer treated as separate conversations.

Drawing from lived experience in postpartum homes, nervous system science, and lineage-rooted care, this episode names the limits of insight without support, technique without attunement, and liberation language without embodied practice. Danielle invites listeners—parents, doulas, midwives, and birthworkers alike—to consider a more integrated approach to postpartum care: one that listens deeply, responds skillfully, and remains grounded in justice and safety.

This is not a list of tips or a quick fix. It’s a reframing of what postpartum actually asks for when bodies are open, nervous systems are vulnerable, and care must move beyond theory into lived reality.

If you’re navigating postpartum recovery, supporting families in the fourth trimester, or questioning why “doing all the right things” still doesn’t feel supportive, this episode offers language, clarity, and a grounded way forward.
