For the 193rd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Your Postpartum Body: The Complete Guide to Healing After Pregnancy co-authors Courtney Naliboff, a writer, teacher, and musician, and Ruth E. Macy, a pelvic floor physical therapist.

In this episode, we’re talking about a topic that deserves way more attention: postpartum recovery. Forget snapback culture—this is about healing in a healthy, sustainable way. Our guests Courtney and Ruth break down the realities of fourth-trimester recovery, from that first terrifying post-birth poop (yes, it’s a thing) to overcoming pelvic floor dysfunction, increasing milk supply, navigating mental health challenges, safely returning to exercise and sex, and so much more. This episode is a must-listen for new parents, expectant parents, or anyone supporting someone in the postpartum period.
