Thank you for helping me keep this real, raw, and free.

In this episode of AgainstThe Grain, I get real about the placenta—yes, that weird-looking organ that everyone ignores.

I dive into what it actually does, its cultural significance, and why placentophagy (yep, eating it) can help with postpartum recovery.

We chat delayed cord clamping, bust myths, and I empower you to make your own choices about your placenta and postpartum journey.

I also break down practical tips for placenta encapsulation and how it can boost your mood, bonding, and overall recovery.
