Maranda Bower was a wonderful guest to interview for the podcast.

She is the CEO and founder of Postpartum University, supporting both mothers and professionals in health and whole body healing.

She’s a renowned expert in top educator in the fields of functional nutrition and coaching in relation to postpartum, and is nicknamed The Womb Whisperer, named as a bestselling author, international speaker, and has appeared in over 50 publications.

Her latest book is Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness, and it’s a number one bestseller now available on Amazon.

And she also has a podcast that I’ve enjoyed listening to.

She shares 3 specific things we can do to prepare for the 4th Trimester (postpartum) and make our transition to mothering easier.

We also talk about different cultures and how they support postpartum women.

As well as how you and your baby are both on a journey!

She was planning a natural birth, 

but her baby was persistently breech. 

It was interesting watching her journey as she had to make tough choices in regards to her babies birth.

and you can see how in the end she had a positive birth despite not having her original desires.

Jayne struggled with Hyperemesis Gravidarum through 4 of her pregnancies.

It was wonderful to talk with her about her experience and hear the blessings that came from it.

"I found it didn't have to be a dark place if I was looking upward, and like reaching out to heaven and saying,

What does this experience have to offer me? What is here for me to learn?"

She also wrote a children's book When Mommies are Sick as well as a journal for other moms experiencing Hypermesis Gravidarum.
