They say the postpartum period lasts six weeks… but any mom who’s been through it knows that’s not the whole story. In this raw and reflective episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Megan and Caitlin sit down for an honest conversation about what it’s really like two years postpartum.
We’re talking about the messy middle: identity shifts, hormonal chaos, mental health challenges, and the slow return to feeling like you again.
Inside this episode, we share:
- What perinatal mood disorders showed up for us
- Why it’s completely normal to not feel “back to yourself” for 18–24 months (or longer)
- The role of hormones and nutrition in postpartum recovery
- Why the 2-year mark often brings more clarity, stability, and strength
- How we learned to redefine postpartum healing as a long-game process
If you’ve ever wondered, “Shouldn’t I be past this by now?”—this one’s for you.
Tune in for validation, real talk, and a reminder that healing isn’t linear—and you’re not alone.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
