In this episode, I’m going to read you the first chapter of my best selling book Newborn Mothers - When a Baby is Born, So is a Mother. The chapter introduces postpartum, the way we use language and the statistics of women experiencing postpartum depression. It details stories from Newborn Mothers, the duration of postpartum and the transformation to motherhood.

I chat with educator, advocate and birth ambassador Dr Andrea Little Mason, also known as Dr Doula. Together we discuss the clarion call to connect with your ancestors, understand the wisdom in your culture and your part in caring for new mothers. At the core of this conversation is Dr Doula's personal journey to discovering her origins in birth and postpartum, then how she invites others to do the same.

I chat with Ashley Winning, a Pregnancy and Birth Guide. Ashley is a wife and a mother of three girls. Motherhood has completely changed her life, and she completely loves it! She created The Motherhood Circle to provide mums with a nurturing, safe environment to talk about their fears and struggles. With over six years of experience as a qualified Postpartum Doula, Ashley supports pregnant and newborn mothers with her online programs and mentoring. 

In this episode, I am joined by Entrepreneur and mother Layla B. Identifying as a soulful changemaker, Layla works as a traditional Moroccan postpartum trainer, business mentor, writer and philanthropist. Layla is dedicated to reviving, reclaiming and restoring sacred and ancient traditional Moroccan postpartum medicine. She supports heart-centred birth workers and women's wellness professionals to create impact, influence and income in a soulful business and life they love.

In this episode, we are joined by an experienced birth and postpartum doula, Julie-Anne Mauno from Canada. Julie-Anne has been supporting women and their families throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum for almost 20 years. During that time, she had seven precious babies of her own. Shortly after becoming a mother, Julie knew that she needed to join other professionals trying to bridge the gap in support that so many mothers experience.
