In this episode, I chat with one of my oldest friends Mindy Glabe. She is a Mama to 6 kiddos, and I am so glad to have reconnected with her recently while we have both been living in our hometown in CT. She has so much to share and has a lot of experience with pregnancy, birth and motherhood. From 3 vaginal births to 3 C-sections - she has a rich story and so much wisdom to offer. 

Mindy never went through menarche (first period) naturally and all of her pregnancies required injections in order to ovulate and conceive. We chat about making the decision to have a big family that she and her husband made together.

In this episode, I interview Tricia Murray. Here is some info about her from her website:

'I’m an Anxiety and Trauma Coach and advanced EFT Practitioner. I have over 12 years experience of supporting, mentoring and coaching mums as well as being asked to contribute to a number of NHS and Government committees, co-founding a Perinatal Mental Health charity (Juno Perinatal Mental Health Support) and Supervisor and Course Instructor for the College of Perinatal Emotional Health for Traumatic Birth Recovery course. I’m also a mum to 4 boys and a dog and live in Edinburgh and obsessed with Scottish beaches.

I am passionate about human rights in childbirth, improving mental health for all mums and addressing social conditioning (especially for women/mums/people conditioned as women). I want us to ‘unload’ motherhood and love the time you have with your kids because with the right support it is absolutely possible to mother in a way that supports everyone without being a martyr to motherhood.

I work across the UK (and further) with women (including people conditioned as women) through all stages of motherhood to relieve you of anxiety, stress, overwhelm and trauma so you can live the life you want to and feel happy, calm and fulfilled.'

She has a wealth of information to share. Please enjoy!
