Post natal emotions are always raw and heightened, but when your birth doesn't quite go to plan, the feelings of grief, disappointment and self doubt can be immense. 

In todays episode, I'm joined by a very special guest, Lucy, who courageously shares her emotional and physical journey when her birth didn't follow her plan.  Her physical and emotional post natal journey has been somewhat of a rollercoaster and not quite the babymoon that she expected. 

We discuss the physical and emotional impact of falling short of your birth expectations and most importantly learning to grow and move forwards, with appreciation, self love and recognition of where you are right now.
