02. The Birth of a Mother with postpartum herbalist Amanda Radan Milk and Motherhood | growing in person and spirit into the mothers we long to be

In this jam-packed episode, Amanda (@treemamaherbals) and I discuss: colicky firstborns, the concept of matrescence (think adolescence, but for moms), how to prepare for postpartum, and what foods and herbs to have on hand before baby arrives.
