This Episode was recorded at the beginning of my first bleed after 2 and a half years of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

I felt safe to share in the presence of Georgia - Georgia has been a key player in getting 'Rememeber the Village Podcast' Launched. Georgia has been the fire and the courage behind the launch. She has been the force behind actually manifesting the podcast beyond a concept. I am eternally grateful to Georgia for also sharing her journey of mothering which parallels mine on a similar timeline of events.
