Ep.25 Supporting New Parents as They Bring Baby Home w/Doula Ursula Sabia Sukinik

At long last, we're doing an episode for everyone who cares about and wants to support, new parents! 

Please share this episode with your friends and family knowing that the things we discuss are important and if dealt with beforehand and with understanding and love, can change a new family's introduction into the world of parenting.

I'm joined once again by the always amazing Ursula Sabia Sukinik who, as CEO of Birth You Desire and a doula who has attended over 1500 births, has worked with tons of new families and quickly become our resident expert in all ​​things labor, delivery and postpartum. If that wasn't enough, she recently EARNED one of her most meaningful titles yet, GRANDMOTHER. She'll share keen insights she's gained and offer invaluable advice to all of our beloved grandparents out there. ​

Ursula reminds new parents that  as individuals, ​they have to pick and choose what is important culturally, what is important scientifically, and most importantly, what feels best for​ them ​right now.

This podcast is to help those parents who simply want to have the freedom to make decisions based on their priorities with respect to the way they welcome their new baby home and begin their lifelong journey as a family. 

None of us makes perfect choices all the time, and THEY ARE entitled to change their minds during this delicate time - but for those of us who love them, we want to work with, and empower them, as they set the foundation for the rest of their lives. We want to offer our wisdom with grace while remembering, it's NOT ABOUT US.

We're not looking for the perfect plan, we're looking fora plan that works.

We'll discuss:

• Boundaries
• Cultures & Traditions
• Relationship Dynamics & Changes
• CHANGING YOUR MIND 
• Guests in your home
• Grandparents
• In-laws
• Maintaining Relationships
• Asking for what you need
• Practical tips for family
• Nutrition
• Partners
