Welcome to this episode, dedicated to the postpartum phase, where we hold space for the mother's experience following birth.
This is a time following her rite of passage, when she returns, embodying her new experience. As with any rite of passage, this moment is not just for the mother and child, but for the community and the collective as well.
I am honored to have Beatriz, a postpartum and birth doula joining us today.
Together, we raise awareness on how to recognize when things are not okay and how we can notice these signs, whether you are a mother feeling confused about what is happening or a family member/support person.
There are many expressions of imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual—and all of these expressions are valid and welcome.
The main thing is that something needs holding.
We begin with the most fundamental needs: you are not broken; your needs are simply not being met.
As we journey through this conversation, we also explore the needs of the immediate family, with a reminder that they too require support.
Thank you for joining us today. Sending love to the mothers, past, present, and future, and to the families and children coming through. We are planting the seeds to reclaim our innate nature and reconnect more deeply with ourselves and one another.
