In this episode, I’m joined by Erin from Ohio, USA, who shares her beautiful, wild, and deeply intentional slow postpartum story with her fourth baby, Serenity.
After three very different postpartum experiences with her older children – including two C-sections and a home birth – Erin entered her fourth pregnancy with a clear vision: to honour the emotional, spiritual, and physical depth of postpartum. She prepared meals and herbs, built her village, and embraced the art of asking for help.
We talk about:
How her earlier postpartum journeys shaped her desire for something different this time.
The powerful influence of her doula during her third birth – and how that changed everything.
What it really means to “hold space” for a new mother.
Balancing preparation with the humility of receiving help from friends, family, and her children.
The importance of slowing down, listening to your intuition, and showing yourself the same patience and kindness you offer your children.
Erin’s story is a moving reminder that postpartum is not just about physical recovery – it’s an emotional and spiritual journey that shapes the rest of our lives.
If you’re expecting or supporting a new mother, this episode is full of wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement to create a postpartum period that is peaceful, supported, and deeply nourishing.
