In this new episode of the Womb Medicine Series, I sit in conversation with Monalisa Sam, for Part 2 of our 3-part mini-series, to deeply dive into and explore Postpartum Medicine: the healing that’s possible for your body after childbirth and how to plan for it.
This is another packed episode for you who’s on a journey of reclaiming & restoring an intentional relationship with your womb and body, and seeking to honor and return the sacred into the inner most experiences of your life as a woman.
Listen to the full episode to hear about:
What postpartum is; why it is the 2nd most vulnerable time for you as a new mother; how to plan for it and exactly what to plan for.
Why the first 40 Days are a critical period in your life as a new mother; why they are considered an “open grave”; and, how to honor this period.
Why it’s unnatural to expect your body to “snap back” after pregnancy and why it’s important to plan for the holistic (emotional, physical, psychological & spiritual) healing and repair of your body after childbirth.
Some of the causes of postpartum depression and postpartum depletion and how to avoid these, while allowing your body to re-birth itself, revive itself and bloom again.
The importance of nutrient-dense food in helping you recover, and how to incorporate medicinal plants in aiding your body to heal.
We also quite briefly explore how to bring your partner into your postpartum process and experience so they may play a more active role in providing the support you need.Listen to this (and so much more!) and let's journey further together in exploring your Womb Medicine as a woman.
