I believe parents have been led astray by the modern medical-industrial system and the multitude of opinions and information available and have dampened the ability to mother biologically and instinctually. I want to encourage mothers to take back that instinctual power in order to be less dependent on the systems that took away their authority. I created Instinctual Mothering Because I want every new mom to know that they don’t have to listen to anything anybody else says about how to raise their own baby.  Instagram @instinctualmothering   Loved this episode?
