Summary

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Greer Kirshenbaum. Greer's awesome. She is an author and a neuroscientist, a doula, infant and family sleep specialist, and a mom. She trained at the University of Toronto, Columbia University, New York University, and Yale. Greer has combined her academic training with her experience as a doula and a mother to lead the Nurture Revolution. It's a movement to nurture our baby's brains to revolutionize mental health and impact larger systems in our world. She wants families, professionals, and workplaces to understand how early caregiving experience can boost mental wellness and diminish depression, anxiety, and addiction in adulthood by shaping baby's brains through simple, intuitive, enriching experiences in pregnancy, birth, and infancy. Her book is called The Nurture Revolution: Grow Your Baby’s Brain and Transform Their Mental Health through the Art of Nurtured Parenting. She offers resources, workshops, and sessions on her website, nurture-neuroscience.com. Y 'all, learning how to communicate with babies and the importance of it is huge because it's the foundation for attachment, which y 'all know if you've read Tiny Humans, Big Emotions, is cornerstone to how we show up in the world. Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is laying this out here for you in her book, The Nurture Revolution. It was so rad to get to chat with her about it, and at the end Rach and I break down what this looks like for us in real life, and some of the struggles we have experienced as parents, trying to support our kids' development while also navigating our own mental health.
