Welcome back to another episode of The Mama Village podcast. I’m your host, Ellen. In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Cushla, a remarkable mother of two, a renowned nutritionist specialising in prenatal, postpartum, infant, and toddler nutrition, and the founder of @nu_bubba. Cushla graciously shares about her own journey through motherhood, sharing intimate details of her two distinct birth experiences. The stark contrast between her highly medicalised induction for her first child and the serene, empowering birth of her second offers invaluable insights into the spectrum of birthing experiences. We also delve deep into the realm of nutrition with Cushla, exploring the vital importance of nourishing the body during pregnancy and postpartum. From identifying foods rich in essential nutrients to maximising their absorption, Cushla provides a wealth of practical wisdom for expecting and new mothers alike. Together, we unravel the complexities of postpartum depletion, shedding light on strategies to safeguard against its effects and promote lasting vitality. Tune in as Cushla shares her personal journey, expert knowledge, and empowering guidance for navigating the transformative stages of parenthood with grace and wellness.
