Thanks so much Lindsay - just such a pleasure to have this conversation with you. And loved seeing these gorgeous vintage postnatal pics! I also felt a real sense of FOMO when I started reading more about holistic postpartum care (including doulas), almost a grief that I couldn't go back and do it this way (though I was lucky in that I discovered more after my first baby and could do some things to implement a different experience second time around with my son). I also found this education made me feel justified in how hard I found it, like it wasn't just me finding it difficult, it was because we were not meant to have this kind of postpartum - feeling alone and isolated, without the adequate practical and emotional support all mothers need. So it was healing in a way to process these feelings. anyway loved this chat, thanks again! x
Can’t wait to listen. Photo JOY! 🤩
