To kick off this fourth episode in the Matrescence series we are discussing the current societal expectations around “bouncing back” for mothers and why this culture needs to change. 

Nikki McCahon, our matrescence educator will discuss: 

• Why women should not be expected to return to “normal”
• Why the current “bounce back” culture is dangerous
• Different cultural practices for nourishing yourself postpartum and how they all have a common thread of rest, nourishing food and village support
• Why asking for help is not a weakness

Today’s episode is episode 4 of 5 in this series. If you want to listen to this entire podcast series all at once then this entire podcast series is now live up inside my online membership program the Pregnancy Posse.
