What if the most important part of childbirth isn’t the birth itself, but the 40 days that follow?
In Ayurveda, like many ancient cultures, the first 40 days postpartum are seen as a sacred window that can shape a mother’s health for the next 40 years – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ayurvedic practitioner Sunny Rose Healey, mother of two and author of 40 Days for 40 Years, to discuss how expecting mothers can prepare for the postpartum period and leverage this transformative window for deep healing, nourishment, and emotional integration after birth.
If you’re pregnant, planning to have children, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a powerful blueprint for approaching postpartum healing. Sunny’s book 40 Days for 40 Years helps you start planning ahead—ideally in the third trimester—so the postpartum period is thoughtfully supported.
