Ok back to the show-
This episode we debunk the myth around maternal instincts and how becoming a mother is about trusting yourself but also giving yourself grace that there is no way to know everything about this new human that entered your life.

Licensed social worker, Molly Vasa Bertolucci joins me in telling her own birth story and experience with the NICU and how that has shaped her to become a mental mental health advocate and healer for moms.

She walks us thru different stages of birth trauma, having trouble bonding with your baby in the NICU and the anxiety that can creep up when finally bringing your baby home. It’s another heartfelt, tearful episode full of resilience and healing.
