In todays episode I am speaking with Annie Clempner Clarke about the last 14 months with her son Marlowe. Despite being pretty clued up on the challenges of motherhood, Annie's postpartum experience still took her so far away from what she had anticipated and feeling like herself .Following a medically managed pregnancy and birth, Annie went on to face huge feeding challenges with Marlowe but with incredible determination and grit she navigated a late diagnosis of a tongue tie and treating raynauds in her nipples so that she could breastfeed, something she has continued to do until very recently, which would have felt truly impossible to believe in those early months. Annie recognises that it was re configuring her attachments to certain parts of how she thought motherhood would look, and in accepting these changes and removing expectations of what it should look like, is what has helped bring her closer to being the pinkest version of herself. We also discuss balancing motherhood with sustaining a business and why we should all be adding mothering to our CVs. This is a slightly longer episode today but Annie shares so much wisdom and insight that is really is worth listening to the end.  To find out more about Annie, her pregnancy yoga, online yoga studio and so much more visit https://annieclarke.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/annieclarke_/ on instagram.
