Weeks ago, my sweet and powerful friend Nicole hosted her own wellness themed birthday sleepover up in Wasaga @theklinckhouse 💕 including a sauna, cold plunge, hot tub experience! 

I really challenged myself to do this cold plunge! 🛀 I had no idea how my body would respond, especially because it was just 4 months ago that I gave birth and it’s been a long while since I submerged my body in freezing cold water 🧊 (Nic melted all the ice cause she’s 🔥🤣❤️‍🔥). 

But for real, post pregnancy cold plunge… 

They say after you give birth you enter the fourth trimester… lasting up to 3 months. This time is all about keeping the mother warm and ensuring proper rest…She has just pushed a body out of her, and can feel more hollow and cold than she ever has before 🥶 I know I did. 

& I’m only now exiting this stage. 

Needless to say, my body shook. 

My mind faced some deep fears that day… 
I realized how much my body is still holding onto…/ traumas and such that have found a home inside of me / … (topic for later perhaps?) 

Healing is on the horizon ☀️ this cold plunge really illuminated where i still feel stuck & how I can SHAKE IT OUT!! Excited for the next one, but I think I’ll wait a little longer and go extra slow with my own process, allowing myself to be so held along the way 🫂💕 do what feels good for you!! 

For me, I waited until about 4 months postpartum before my first cold plunge 🤍  it wasn’t easy, but it felt right for me and my body is powerful and can withstand the cold. I CAN DO HARD THINGS 🧊 & doing things that are hard strengthens me 💪 I am strong because of my choices to dive into what scares me 👻 

Have you done a cold plunge before? What was your experience like! 😊 or if you’ve given birth and care to share your unique postpartum experience, I would love to hear 🥰
