#244 • Dr. Britta Bushnell is BACK, this time sharing her new book: Transformed By Birth: Cultivating Openness, Strength, and Resilience for the Life-Changing Journey from Pregnancy to Parenthood (Sounds True, January 28, 2020). She shares the profound opportunity for transformation that comes with motherhood. We crack open cultural birthing expectations and how they are getting us stuck. I catch myself in a moment of ‘mom judgment’ and, together, we unravel what’s really behind it. Britta also offers healing tools for mothers who have experienced trauma. And we talk about how we can effectively ask partners for what we need and not alienate them with our directness -- a lesson I keep getting to practice. If you loved our previous two conversations, or if this is your introduction to Dr. Britta Bushnell’s work with mythology and womanhood, I can’t wait for you to listen!
