Plus, Steph opens up about stepping back from social media, honoring her cycle for better self-care, and redefining postpartum support with a more empowering lens.This season opener is full of laughter, honest reflections and a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s to come on Season 9 including expert interviews on detox protocols for kids, hormone health and real food parenting strategies.
