Un-Veiling with Grace and Piper Grace Duncan + Piper Shanks

In this episode we have Licensed Therapist and Life Coach, Stephanie Gentile, to discuss the balance of therapy, when it's necessary, and how social media is dangerous when it comes to mental illness. We also briefly discuss a quote from John McArthur that inaccurately and ignorantly depicts mental illness.

In this episode, We delve into the often contentious narratives surrounding childbirth and breastfeeding. While the ideals of 'natural birth' and 'breast is best' are widely promoted, they can inadvertently overshadow the diverse experiences and choices of women. Join us as we explore how rigid adherence to these ideals can be harmful and demeaning, perpetuating feelings of inadequacy and guilt among mothers. We'll discuss the importance of empowering women to make informed choices that align with their own comfort and well-being, rather than conforming to societal expectations. Through candid conversations and sharing our own experiences, we navigate the complexities of birth and breastfeeding, emphasizing the need for autonomy, support, and respect for individual preferences.
