There is a saying: "When a baby is born, a mother is born too."

Both Jen and I have found this saying to hold true - on many levels. This episode dives into our personal experiences around identity shifts after birth and the ripples those had in our own lives. We give some fun metaphors as well that hopefully can resonate with some of the mamas listening and/or give a better understanding to those awaiting birth and beyond.

We've got a very special (and amazing rockstar mama) guest today, Sarah. She shares her unique and emotional journey into motherhood starting with the NICU and later navigating pediatric cancer with her baby.

Her story is an inspiration as she shares how she found the strength to face her fears, opens up about the ways she and her husband grew stronger as a couple during this challenging time and offers insights into how little acts of kindness and support carried them through the toughest moments.

Sarah’s hope is to uplift other parents going through similar experiences by sharing her story of resilience and love as well as to give insight to others how they can best support mamas and families in similar positions.

Today is the first episode of a little 'series' of episodes around acupressure and acupuncture that we will be rolling out over the next few months. For those of you that do not know, Jen (our lovely co-host on the pod) is not only a midwife but also an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. She is a wealth of wisdom in this area and we wanted to share some of this with the listeners.
