Redefining Postpartum Recovery: Healing Through Food with Rebecca Smith, Founder of Mamala Organics

In this episode, Annie sits down with Rebecca, founder and CEO of Mamala Organics, to uncover the often-overlooked role of nutrition in postpartum recovery. They dive into the creation of Mamala Organics Support Snacks—crafted to meet women’s unique nutritional needs—the importance of high-quality ingredients and thoughtful packaging, and why community care is just as essential as rest and self-care. Rebecca explains how nutrient depletion drives many common postpartum symptoms, shares meal prep strategies and better-for-you swaps, and outlines her vision for Mamala Organics as a leader in women’s wellness and advocacy.
