You know I like to have the conversations no one else will when it comes to birth and postpartum and today’s episode is no exception!

In our last episode together, HeHe Stewart, founder of The Birth Lounge, and I talked about the benefits of having a doula, who wouldn’t benefit from a doula, the role of the partner, and so much more.

Now we’re opening the conversation about doulas in a different way that’s actually somewhat taboo, regarding advocating for your birth and the role a doula can play in supporting your birth plans.

Mamas, you may ask, “Why is that taboo?” But doulas, you know very well why, because it’s often frowned upon by larger certifying agencies.

Let's be real. Our society breezes right past the needs of a new mother when it comes to what she should receive at a baby shower. Sure, nipple cream and burb cloths are great. 

But it's time to change the outdated ways of inundating new parents with piles of stuff for the baby and give them what they TRULY need. 

Kaitlin McGreyes is the founder of BeHerVillage. 

She started doula work in 2014 and is passionate about creating access to maternal care for all. Through her gift registry platform, Kaitlin is reimagining birth and postpartum support as baby shower gifts.

If you haven't heard of this new and unconventional way to support expecting mothers, y'all are in for a special treat...

Listen in for these three big takeaways: 

1. BeHerVillage reduces the overwhelm of decision fatigue in new motherhood. Stressing about every choice she makes is the last thing a new mom needs. 
2. Reframing the narrative of what new parents need is at the center of the BeHerVillage mission. (Hint: it's not all the stuff!)
3. BeHerVillage has an ulterior when it comes to doula care and postpartum support by providing it as a gift and making it more mainstream.

It's time to talk about postpartum after cesarean and acknowledge it as the unique and challenging season that it is.

The hard truth is that many c-sections are not necessary, and the risks for mom and baby are not given the weight they deserve.

Still, whole body healing and recovery is absolutely possible. To experience this, we MUST start talking about what mamas need to truly thrive after a cesarean delivery.

It is up to us to lead the way towards better care for women, mothers, and families across the country and the world.

In today's episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Mary Yanagawa - a midwife who has served hundreds of families and been an incredible example of the impact we can all have.

With her advocacy work, she has helped push through legendary legislation in Alaska for birth and postpartum care.

One day, this will be the standard everywhere.

But the advocacy work has to start with us.

Postpartum Depression was not recognized in the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders until 1994.

Since the 16th century, mental health has had a long and dark history. Women have been at the forefront of experimentation, isolation, and even execution.

This history has created fear, shame, and a societal stigma around mental
health.

What has changed in the last few decades does not erase 1000’s
of years of mistreatment.

Today, I'm sharing with you all a clip from our Perinatal Mental Health Certificate training where we covered the history of mental health as it relates to women and postpartum.

Women and mothers are in crisis. What are providers missing?

Whole-body support is THE missing link, and nutrition is one of the biggest components to better care. Without it, health outcomes will continue to decline.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the research that supports this and discussing the science behind the gut's role in our mental health, inflammation as a precursor to PPD, and so much more.

Recognizing the massive role that food plays in our healing will bring us all one step closer to helping the women and families we serve truly thrive.

In the depths of postpartum, intimacy is often one of the first things to go.

Women are tired, touched out, disconnected, and overwhelmed. When we need our partners the most, we often find ourselves pushing them further away.

Today we are sitting down with Jen Melville, a sex and relationship coach that specializes in helping women reclaim their relationships and sexuality postpartum.

We are laying it all out there in this conversation. It is possible to prioritize intimacy and our close relationships after kids.

And not only is it possible, it is also what you and your family deserve.
