Dr Erin is a clinical psychologist and mother, who specialises in birth grief and trauma. Bowe speaks from her own experience of having two births that did not go according to plan and how this shifted her work and focus to help women and their families in this under-supported area.  In this episode Dr Bowe cleans up the confusion of what trauma actually means and even though she didn't want to be the poster girl for birth trauma she shares her unique perspectives on the importance of processing the grief. 

With alarming rates of up to one in three Australian women having experienced birth trauma and one in 10 women who emerge from childbirth with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) I delve into the impact experienced by our partners and support people, with Dr Bowe giving some key takeaways on how to hold yourself with compassion + love.  We also talk about Erin's new book 'More Than A Healthy Baby'.

**Trigger warning this episode talks about pregnancy loss**
In this episode I update you on everything that has been happening both professionally and personally, as 2020 was really a year for me to navigate personal challenges. I vulnerably share about my grief after losing a pregnancy and how this triggered a domino effect of grief, change and ultimate healing of my relationships.

I open up about why I decided to take a step back over the last 12 months to focus on doing my own inner work so as to be in integrity with leading Alignment and how moving through this process has really shaped a more potent and transformative program for women. 

Coming out of the fog of such a deeply personal shift gifts immense clarity around what is fulfilling + lights up my soul, this is what I will be carrying forward into Dear Mama Project.. announcing a teacher training to come in 2022 as well as other exciting programs also, let's do this!
