Nourished Postpartum

Welcome friends, to our second episode: all things Nourished Postpartum. What do you think of when you hear the word “Postpartum”? Please join us as we explore what it means to plan for and receive care from people in your community. If you've had your babes already, or don't plan on having children you will learn to apply these concepts in other milestone moments #gositzyourself The question we are asking and (trying!) answering this episode: how can we shift perspectives when it comes to the postpartum period in ways that will yield better outcomes? We share cross cultural practices of care, what postpartum planning can look like and even some recipes that can be enjoyed long after you stop putting cold packs on your healing parts. #postpartumdonuts Help us take 'Postpartum' from the cultural junk drawer to center stage with joy, reverence and honouring. And don't forget #thatsitzisntgoingtositzitself Books: The First Forty Days A Taste of Our Own Medicine Full Moon Feast Meal Train Websites: Mealtrain.com Takethemameal.com To mobilize change we are rallying to discuss, with nuance, many of the layers that make the postpartum transition feel challenging: enter the 2nd Annual Nourished Postpartum Challenge!
