We are covering fourth trimester fundamentals with this conversation and talking about what is needed in the first few weeks and months after birth. We're looking at postpartum recovery support through the lens of Ayurvedic practices and introducing the concept of the "sacred window". Most parents prepare for birth, but far fewer are prepared for what comes after. The early postpartum period is often when families feel the most depleted and unsupported. In this episode, we explore postpartum recovery support through honoring the sacred window, an Ayurvedic framework that centers rest, nourishment, and long-term healing. Christine Eck, founder of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, shares how her own postpartum experience led her to this work and what modern families can learn from these time-tested practices. In this conversation, you’ll hear: why the first 42 days postpartum matter for long-term health simple ways to support recovery through food, rest, and daily rhythms how to create better support systems for yourself or your postpartum clients This episode offers practical, accessible ways to feel more supported during one of life’s biggest transitions.
