What if everything we’ve been told about postpartum recovery in Western culture is fundamentally flawed?

After facing her own health struggles postpartum after her first pregnancy, Emily Montague leaned into her background of living in Hong Kong and her fluency in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

She fully immersed herself in the transformative wisdom of “The Sitting Month”—a traditional Chinese approach to postpartum care that prioritizes rest, nourishment, and long-term healing. Now, after having 5 children herself(!) Emily is helping mothers everywhere reclaim this powerful practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The ancient practice of “The Sitting Month” and why dedicated rest transforms postpartum recovery
• Key dietary principles and warming foods that rebuild blood and support healing
• The contrast between Western “bounce back” culture and Eastern approaches to maternal care
• How acupuncture and community support play vital roles in long-term wellbeing
