Embracing the Unexpected

Welcome back to another Abundant Motherhood segment where my guest today is my sister-in-law Raquel Mullins who has two girls: 2-year-old Ivy old and a 2-month-old Imogen. She tells us about her birth stories, both of which had some unexpected twists! Raquel opens up about the emotional aftermath following the birth of her first child, which had a traumatic finish. We also talk about her breastfeeding journey and what it was like to try and wean Ivy off breastfeeding right before Imogen came into the world. Lastly, as a Teacher, Raquel gives us her professional perspective on maximizing child’s play in a way that helps them hit developmental milestones and grow their lifestyle skills. She gives us creative strategies for how to get the most out of your child’s toys, keeping things new and enhancing your child’s skillsets in fun fashion!WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:Raquel’s birth stories: what they were like, how they were different and the unexpected events/circumstances that arose during each birthSome of the emotional aftermath Raquel experienced from the trauma of things in her first birthing experienceRaquel’s breastfeeding journey and how she delt with trying to wean her first child off of breastfeeding right before her second child was due to be bornA teacher’s perspective of child’s play: developmental/cognitive stages of play and interaction, how to get more focused play, toy rotations, different types of play to encourage developmental milestones and more!What living an abundant life in motherhood means to RaquelOldham Strong Related Links:Website: Oldham StrongFacebookFacebookInstagramFollow Jordan Otis Here:InstagramFacebookFollow Raquel Mullins here:InstagramFacebook**Join The Abundance Formula Community FB Group for More in Depth Interaction and Freebie Tools to Build an Abundant Life!**LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!The Abundance Formula on Apple Podcasts
