In this episode, Christine sits down with Sarah McGinnis Chapman, a mother of three, veteran, and military spouse whose postpartum experiences awakened a deep calling toward integrative health and conscious caregiving. Sarah shares the impact of navigating birth far from cultural traditions, the spiritual dimensions of early motherhood, and how her own healing journey has shaped her work supporting other women.

Topics We Explore:
– Cultural lineage and its quiet influence on postpartum expectations
– The emotional and spiritual layers of the sacred window
– Gestational diabetes, military life, and the shock of unmet support
– Nourishment as remembrance
– How caregivers often emerge from their own unmet needs
– Returning to what truly stabilizes us in motherhood

About Our Guest:
