In the blur of new motherhood, the little things can make the biggest difference. In this episode, Amy Grace shares her best practical and emotional tips for the postpartum season—things she’s learned as a therapist, a coach, and a mom of four. From creating rest-friendly routines to building lasting memories, these tips will help new moms feel more confident, supported, and connected in those early days.

Key Takeaways

• Rest without guilt: prioritize healing and let the dishes wait.

• Make life easier: diaper stations on each floor, mini fridge in the bedroom, skip unnecessary nighttime diaper changes.

• Remember babies are portable—don’t feel trapped at home.

• Ask for help early and often—don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed.

• Meet emotional needs: snuggles, soothing, and attachment build lifelong trust.

• Capture memories: take pictures with you in them, and try a one-sentence journal.

• Honor your emotions: allow yourself to cry, name feelings, and celebrate small wins.

• Boost bonding and mood: snuggle your baby often, talk/sing to them, and use a personal playlist to keep your spirits up.

• “Babies are portable—don’t feel trapped at home.”

• “Meeting a baby’s emotional needs in the first year builds lifelong trust.”

• “You don’t have to love every minute, but you can treasure the ones you do.”
