Join Desiree Jones, a lactation specialist, birth and parent educator, and founder of the You Need Us campaign, as she discusses instinctual mothering, advocates for autonomy and empowerment in childbirth, offers breastfeeding support, and dissects the historical inaccuracies and unnatural narratives surrounding Western attitudes towards motherhood. From reclaiming our innate instincts and wisdom to challenging entrenched beliefs and societal norms, each episode delves deep into the transition from womb to world. Tune in for provocative discussions, empowering stories, and a bold reimagining of what it means to embrace the true essence of motherhood.
Since the literal beginning of mothers, rituals, customs, and traditions specific to postpartum and/or new mothers have existed across, virtually, ever culture and society. Join Desiree in this episode, as she talks about the importance of The Fourth Trimester, from the mother's point of view. This is the second part of last episode's talk about The Fourth Trimester, which was from the baby's point of view.
