255. Bryony Deery: On Postpartum Recovery, Hormone Crashes, Birth Preparation & Pregnancy Fitness
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Epidural strategy and breathing while pushing
Bryony explains getting incremental epidural top-ups and coordinating breath with contractions to reduce tearing.
The moment you become a mother, a version of you emerges that you’ve never met before, and she’s more powerful, more sensitive, and more focused than anyone you’ve ever been. Today, I’m with Bryony Deery for the second time to explore what really happens to a woman’s identity, priorities, and emotional range after birth, including the surprising neuroscience behind why mothers seem to “just know” what their baby needs before anyone else does. Bryony also gets brutally honest about the bounce-back pressure, the intrusive thoughts no one talks about, and why giving yourself grace isn’t weakness, it’s biology.
