Power of Postpartum #064

We are diving into the world of postpartum again in this episode.  Because, frankly, we don't tend to give it the attention it deserves in the perinatal care space.

There are so many ways that we are failing folks throughout the postpartum period. Our guest, Kayla Bitten, also known as The Southern Midwife, is a wealth of information about how will we make shifts in the cultural narrative around postpartum healing. How will we address the stigma that is so often present as folks make this transition and work to align their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, all aspects of their health?

Join us for this really frank conversations about how much pressure we put on postpartum people.   You were going to leave this conversation with more ideas about how to switch your language with folks that you care for during birth, and also those you support in any other aspect of your life.

Themes include:
~Black perinatal mortality rates and postpartum care access
~Adjusting our mindset to view postpartum as equally transformative as pregnancy
~Recognizing our validity outside of being a vessel for the baby
~Creating stronger postpartum support networks
~Examining our relationship with nutrition & body image
~Countering toxic familial and cultural postpartum traditions
~Busting postpartum myths

... And so much more
