This week Bianca and Marissa chat about societal expectations around motherhood all the way from getting pregnant to the parenting experience.
They discuss the harmful idea that there is some sort of magical list of steps to follow in order to achieve the dream of a happy, peaceful, nuclear family. They also talk about the ways in which we can reclaim joy, play, connection and love in our identities as mothers and how that experience can be deeply healing and transformational.

This week Bianca is joined by two of our incredible alumni: Vicky Cadot and DeZarayé Manning. Both Vicky and DeZarayé share their passion for birth, healing and body autonomy.

Vicky struggled with CPTSD (Complex Postraumatic Stress Disorder) after suffering religious and sexual abuse. After suffering a panic attack while caring for her children, she realized she needed to do some deep healing work and she found a community that helped her name and understand what she was going through. She started reconnecting to herself, to the things that brought her joy and made her shine. She realized she was pregnant with her 5th child and decided to advocate for herself and embark in the journey of unassisted homebirth. She now runs her own business serving families and is a leader for Black doulas in Quebec.

DeZarayé also experienced trauma, in her case it was in the form of getting electrocuted at work and having to leave her career as a body worker, which she was deeply passionate about. DeZarayé first tried to heal in silence, ignoring red flags and the signals of her body, but eventually she found a community that helped her do the deep work. Finding birth work helped her come back to herself and get grounded. She is now pregnant with her second child and planning an unassisted homebirth.

This week Bianca and Meg are talking about one of the most harmful, almost comical lies we tell new parents: the idea that they will be able to "bounce" or "snap" back into their pre-pregnancy life. This devastating myth has us focusing on all the wrong things: shrink your body, hide any signs of discomfort, ignore your mental health, prioritize your child while also taking care of everyone else and yourself, and do it all alone. This unattainable, cruel picture is the reason why so many new parents are suffering from Postpartum Mood Disorders (PMADs). Bianca and Meg take a deep dive at the complicated realities of postpartum and help us re-prioritize the things that bring us joy.

This week Bianca interviews Linda Eileen Fearless Birther, amazing doula, homeschooling mom, peer mentor and Bebo Mia community member.

Linda's family's healing journey started with pain. After Linda got injured her household had to be re-structured and her husband found himself in a new role that had him questioning a lot of things about his life. Linda and her husband took enneagram test that helped guide them into a path of introspection where they realized they had lost themselves in their work and their roles as parents.

Linda was convinced by a friend to attend one of Bebo Mia's free webinars and there she was awaken to the possibility of turning her passion for birth into a career. She shares with us how her training with Bebo Mia helped her reconnect deeply with herself and how the healing she found through birth work and community trickled down to her whole family, allowing them to heal together and eventually, to manifest a new lifestyle of freedom where they get to travel, continue home schooling, and reclaim spaces that aren't usually occupied by Latinx or BIPOC families.

This week Bianca talks to Dr Greer Kirshenbaum from Nurture Neuroscience, the first neuroscientist doula, about the importance of sleep and the challenges that families faced when trying to fit into unrealistic societal standards around infant sleep guidelines and the pressure to sleep train babies. Greer and Bianca discuss how science now backs up what we have known in our hearts: humans need other humans for co-regulation and children develop optimally when all of their emotions are accepted.
