• Mastering Intuition as a Provider: When to Trust Your Gut vs. Protocol in Postpartum Care EP 204

  Send us a textWhat if your gut instinct and intuition as a provider is the missing piece in truly supporting postpartum mothers?We’ve been trained to rely on tests, checklists, and data, but what if the most powerful tool we have isn’t something that can be measured? In this episode, I share a personal experience that shook me to my core—one that proved how deeply connected emotional wounds are to physical symptoms. We dive into why postpartum care has lost its intuitive roots, how women healers throughout history were dismissed or feared for trusting their inner knowing, and why it’s time to bring that back. If you’ve ever had a moment where you just knew what a mom needed—without a test or protocol telling you so—this episode will validate what you’ve felt all along. Plus, we discuss how modern biohacking, tracking, and testing have taken us further from the innate wisdom that has guided women’s healing for centuries. If you're a postpartum provider, this episode will reignite your confidence in the deep knowing that makes you extraordinary at what you do.Check out this episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/mastering-intuition-as-a-provider-when-to-trust-your-gut-vs-protocol-in-postpartum-care-ep-204/Key Time Stamps: 00:02 – The gut feeling that changed a client’s postpartum recovery03:41 – How grief and trauma show up in the body04:52 – The lost art of trusting intuition in women’s healthcare06:17 – Why postpartum healing isn’t about biohacking—it’s about deep connection07:44 – The question every provider must ask: “Am I hesitating because it’s wrong or because I wasn’t taught it?”09:56 – A personal story of misdiagnosis—and how one doctor trusted her instinct to find the truth12:48 – Why clients need validation beyond lab results15:25 – The Postpartum Nutrition Certification: Bridging science and intuition for better care17:26 – Final thoughts: Why intuition is the missing piece in postpartum healingNEXT STEPS: 📩 Join our newsletter for more evidence-based insights and strategies 🔔Sign up for the Postpartum Nutrition Certification Waitlist👍Rate, REVIEW & share the podcast📱Connect on Instagram!📚Get a Copy of the BOOK: Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness 🎒FREE Provider's Postpartum Nutrition Toolkit🧠Perinatal Mental Health Certificate Training & Additional Courses for Providers & Postpartum Professionals

• Does the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Really Work? EP 202

  Send us a textIs the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) Failing Mothers? What Providers Need to KnowPostpartum depression screenings are essential—but are we actually identifying the mothers who need help? The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the standard tool used in postpartum mental health screenings worldwide.
