Episode 5 | You Are Going to Be Okay

Welcome!

Postpartum anxiety, sudden menopause, and learning to trust your body again

Whole selves. Honest conversations. Support that meets you where you are.

In this episode of the Soma Moon Wellness Podcast, Jeanetta Bodie is joined by longtime friend and former student Heather Cannon for a deeply personal conversation about postpartum anxiety, nervous system healing, pelvic health, hormones, and the power of women coming alongside one another in moments of crisis.

This episode traces the early roots of Jeanetta’s work in pelvic health yoga therapy through Heather’s postpartum journey—one marked by anxiety, heart palpitations, exhaustion, and the quiet fear that she might never feel like herself again. Together, they reflect on rest as medicine, the permission to say no, and what it means to trust the body after trauma, surgery, and sudden menopause.

Tender, honest, and often humorous, this conversation reminds us that healing doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from being supported, believed, and allowed to pause.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • Postpartum anxiety and how it can show up in unexpected ways

  • The role of rest, nervous system regulation, and yoga therapy in healing

  • Pelvic floor awareness and why “not feeling it” is normal—and okay

  • Hormones, hysterectomy, and navigating sudden menopause

  • Why women are not meant to live by a 24-hour productivity cycle

  • The freedom that comes from saying no and letting others step in

  • Asking for help, asking questions, and releasing shame around “not knowing”

Why This Conversation Matters

So many women quietly believe they are failing when their bodies ask for rest, clarity, or care. This episode gently dismantles that belief. Through shared stories of postpartum struggle, hormonal upheaval, and personal transformation, Jeanetta and Heather remind us that women are not broken—we are responsive, cyclical, and deeply resilient.

Healing happens in relationship: with the body, with trusted guides, and with other women who are willing to say, you are going to be okay—even when it doesn’t feel true yet.

Listen in if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or afraid to ask for help—and need the reminder that you don’t have to do this alone.
