Episode Synopsis

In episode 8, we dive into the complexities of recovery after birth — the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that new parents face. We ask the tough questions. Who and what helped you recover? How did your "village" or tribe support your journey? What role did your partner play, and how did you navigate those dynamics?We also shed light on the unspoken struggles: the guilt of not bonding with your baby immediately, the toll of extreme sleep deprivation, and even experiencing hallucinations or hearing voices!This conversation is a reminder that you're not alone and that seeking help and sharing stories are acts of strength. Join us as we break the silence and celebrate the resilience of new mamas everywhere.Time stamps: :35-6:51: Recovery after birth- who/ what helped you recover?l6:52-11:32: Complications during recovery 12:00-18:44: Newborn SLEEP18:45-22:08: Circumcision 23:00-30:30: Bonding with baby30:31-35:34 What did your tribe look like?40:19- 43:58: Giving your baby a sibling 45:03- 59:30: Partner support- how’d you do it?
