Christian Postpartum Recovery Roadmap for New Moms
You prepared for your baby.
Let me help you prepare + equip you for postpartum.
Christian Postpartum Roadmap: The First 6 Weeks
A practical, Spirit-filled postpartum roadmap helping you recover, nourish your body, care for your family, meet with Jesus and remember the newborn days—one week at a time.
GET THE ROADMAP — $27
“Maybe this sounds familiar…”
It's 2 a.m. You're feeding again.
You're wondering whether something you're experiencing is normal.
You want to know when you can start moving again.
You're hungry.
You haven't opened your Bible.
Your camera roll has 700 pictures of the baby and approximately two of you.
And Google is giving you seventeen different answers.
I built something different.
I'm living these weeks alongside you. I'm currently postpartum with our fifth baby, mothering five children nine and under. I'm also an RN and former PICU nurse, pastor and seminary graduate.
I didn't create this because I believe postpartum needs another program.
I created it because even five babies in, I found myself searching for answers, trying to remember what mattered during each stage of recovery, wanting to care well for my body and realizing how easy it was to scroll through the small pockets where I could instead be nourished spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
So I started building what I wanted beside me.
Your Postpartum Roadmap—Right on Your Phone
The First 6 Weeks isn't another postpartum book you'll save with good intentions and forget to open.
It's an interactive Trello roadmap designed to meet you in the week you're actually living—whether you're preparing for baby ahead of time, sitting in the hospital bed, nursing at 2 a.m., recovering from a C-section, or wondering what life should look like as you approach that six-week postpartum appointment.
I created it to feel a little like having an experienced mom, nurse, and pastor beside you saying:
Here's what matters this week. Here's what you may want to know. Here's what can wait. And here's where Jesus might be meeting you in the middle of it.
Why Trello?
Because the last thing a newly postpartum mom needs is another 150-page guide she has to remember to read from beginning to end.
Trello lets you keep your entire postpartum roadmap organized, searchable, and accessible right from your phone.
You'll receive your own copy of the board, organized week by week. Simply download the free Trello app (or use it in your browser), open the week you're currently in, and start with the 5-Minute START HERE card.
That's it.
You don't need to complete every checklist. You don't need to read every resource. And you absolutely cannot fall behind.
The board is intentionally designed in layers: the essentials are simple, while the deeper information is waiting whenever you need it.
So when you're wondering about C-section recovery, movement, feeding, postpartum emotions, nourishment, your first postpartum appointment, or how to begin returning to exercise, you don't have to remember where you read about it three weeks ago.
Open your board and find what you need.
And if you've never used Trello? I've included a complete beginner tutorial, phone setup instructions, a Before Baby setup path, and an I'm Already Postpartum—Just Get Me In option.
No Trello experience required.
What You'll Find Inside
Each postpartum week follows the same gentle rhythm so you don't have to learn a new system while sleep deprived:
NOTICE
A simple check-in with your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
KNOW
Practical, RN-informed postpartum education and trusted medical resources for what may be relevant during this stage of recovery.
NOURISH
Realistic ways to support your recovering body, feeding needs, hydration, rest, household, marriage, and family life.
ABIDE
A simple invitation to notice Jesus within the life you're already living—not another spiritual assignment to finish.
REMEMBER
One tiny prompt to help you preserve the newborn details that disappear far too quickly.
And every week begins with:
⭐ YOUR WEEK IN 5 MINUTES
If that's the only card you open all week, you've used the roadmap successfully.
Practical Support for the Questions You're Actually Asking
The board goes far beyond a weekly checklist.
I've built deeper resource libraries that you can open only when you need them, including topics such as:
C-section recovery + vaginal birth recovery
Week-appropriate recovery education and links to trusted outside resources.
Gentle postpartum movement
Resources for safely thinking about movement and gradual return to activity in partnership with your healthcare team.
RN Corner
Trusted medical references, postpartum education, warning signs, questions to ask your provider, and clear reminders about when internet education needs to become actual medical care.
Feeding + nourishment
Practical support for feeding yourself while feeding a baby, hydration, easy nourishment, and making food one less thing to figure out.
Postpartum mental + emotional health
Gentle check-ins and resources to help you pay attention to how you're really doing—not just physically.
Marriage + support
Practical ways to communicate needs, share responsibilities, protect connection, and allow other people to care for you too.
Older siblings + home life
Simple ideas for easing your family into its new normal without trying to rebuild your entire household overnight.
Postpartum Toolkit
Practical resources, ideas, systems, and shortcuts designed to make these first weeks a little easier.
Memory Keeper
Simple systems for preserving photos, tiny videos, voice memos, prayers, funny sibling comments, newborn sounds, and the pieces of this season you don't want to lose.
And because this is a living digital roadmap rather than a traditional book, you can keep it within reach on your phone and return to the resources you need when you need them.
PLUS: 6 Printable Postpartum ABIDE Bible Studies
Your physical recovery matters.
So does your soul.
One of the things I've become increasingly passionate about in motherhood is helping women understand that our secret place with Jesus does not disappear simply because our season changes.
Especially during newborn motherhood.
You may not be sitting at a table for an hour with your Bible, journal, commentary, and uninterrupted coffee.
You may be meeting with Jesus while nursing at 3:14 a.m.
While rocking a baby.
While lying in bed recovering.
While listening to Scripture during a feeding.
Or through one honest prayer whispered over the tiny person sleeping against your chest.
So alongside the practical roadmap, you'll receive a printable ABIDE Bible reading + study guide for every postpartum week.
Each guide walks you gently through my ABIDE practice:
APPROACH — come honestly into God's presence
BEHOLD — turn your attention toward who He is
INDWELL — remain with a truth from Scripture
DISCERN — invite the Holy Spirit into what is happening within you
EMBODY — carry what God is showing you into ordinary life
These aren't meant to become six more things to finish.
They are invitations.
Print them and journal through the entire study.
Read one section during a feeding.
Listen to the week's Scripture instead of reading it.
Answer one journal question.
Or use the 60-Second ABIDE included directly inside Trello when that's all you have capacity for.
There is no catching up.
Your Six-Week Spiritual Journey
WEEK ONE — RECEIVE + RECOVER
Let the Shepherd Carry You
Isaiah 40:11, 27–31
Begin postpartum not by trying to do more for Jesus, but by learning to receive from the Shepherd who “gently leads those that have young.”
WEEK TWO — REST + REORIENT
Learning the Unhurried Way of Jesus
Matthew 11:28–30
Bring Jesus the burdens, expectations, exhaustion, and pressure to return to normal—and learn again the gentleness of His invitation: Come to Me.
WEEK THREE — REMAIN + REBUILD
You Are Not Behind
John 15:1–11
Before rebuilding routines, productivity, or your old life, return to the invitation of Jesus: Remain in Me. Fruit grows from connection, not hurry.
WEEK FOUR — STRENGTHEN + SETTLE
Grace for the Strength You Actually Have
2 Corinthians 12:7–10
As strength begins returning, learn the difference between becoming stronger and becoming self-sufficient—and discover sufficient grace inside your limitations.
WEEK FIVE — RECONNECT + DISCERN
What Belongs in the Next Season?
A gentle opportunity to notice what postpartum has revealed, reconnect intentionally, and discern what you want to carry forward—and what may be allowed to remain behind.
WEEK SIX — RESTORE + REENTER
You Are Not Going Back. You're Going Forward With Jesus.
Psalm 23
Six weeks is a milestone, not a deadline. Instead of trying to “get your old self back,” consider how the Shepherd may be restoring your soul and leading you into the woman and mother you are becoming.
Designed for the Mom Who Has Almost No Margin
This may be the most important thing to know about The First 6 Weeks:
You cannot fail it.
You won't receive a giant postpartum to-do list.
You don't need to “complete Week One” before you're allowed to move to Week Two.
If you buy it at three weeks postpartum?
Start at Week Three.
If your baby had a terrible night and you don't want to read anything?
Don't.
If you only open the 5-Minute START HERE card?
Perfect.
If your entire time with Jesus today consists of whispering one sentence from your ABIDE guide while feeding your baby?
That counts too.
I wanted this resource to contain a lot without asking a lot from you.
The depth is there when you need it.
But you never have to consume all the depth to benefit from it.
Because Postpartum Isn't Just About Caring for the Baby
There are endless resources teaching us what newborns need.
And newborns certainly need us.
But the woman caring for that newborn is also recovering, changing, learning, processing, healing, and being formed.
She deserves care too.
That's why The First 6 Weeks brings together practical postpartum support, trusted educational resources, spiritual formation, Scripture, family rhythms, nourishment, memory keeping, and realistic encouragement in one place.
Not to help you perfect postpartum.
But to help you heal intentionally, receive deeply, notice Jesus, and remember the beautiful ordinary life happening right in front of you.
