Evening Tea
Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in: this is Evening Tea. In our very first episode, I introduce myself, share my journey into holistic living, and explain why this space exists. From movement and nutrition to postpartum, natural medicine, and the power of community, we’ll explore what it means to live intentionally and listen to your intuition. Whether you’re a mother, hoping to become one, or simply a woman curious about holistic health, this episode is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and feel seen.

A Cup That Holds You: Rethinking Postpartum Care with Ruta Cohen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
So much of postpartum is endured quietly. The exhaustion, the overwhelm, the unmet needs that many mothers never expected or were never told to prepare for. In this episode of Evening Tea, I’m sitting down with postpartum doula Ruta Cohen of Whole Postpartum for an honest, grounded conversation about what postpartum really asks of a woman.
We talk about why postpartum support is so often missing, the pressure to bounce back, and how different things can feel when a mother is truly held before she reaches a breaking point. This conversation is not about doing postpartum perfectly. It is about slowing down, softening expectations, and remembering that care is not something you earn.
Whether you are pregnant, newly postpartum, or reflecting back on your own experience, this episode is meant to leave you feeling calmer, less alone, and more supported.
