Postpartum Pain Points: How to Deal: Elisha and Kathryn Voetberg
Whether this you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned veteran, your struggles postpartum might be the same: Sleep deprivation. Healing. Body insecurity. Lack of sex. Expectations. Caring for yourself. Keeping a tiny human alive. Hormones. Kathryn and Elisha Voetberg provide ideas to navigate the biggest challenges of bringing a child into the world.
I had this expectation my mom was going to come stay at my house for a week after the baby. And now we’re in this, you know, tiny two bedroom apartment [Laughter] and Elisha has like his mother-in-law there 24/7. It’s just kind of like, “What do I do?” Right? — Kathryn Voetbert

Elisha and Kathryn Voetberg are devoted parents of five children who provide resources and opportunities to help families tie heart strings and intentionally strengthen family bonds at nowthatwereafamily.com. Their passion for encouraging vibrant friendships with those closest to home, was born out of a common thread they found growing up in their own big, relationship rich families (10 and 11 kids!). Elisha and Kathryn also host the Now That We’re a Family Podcast.
