Entering Motherhood - A Holistic Approach to Healing and Navigating Motherhood During the Postpartum Period Sarah Marie Bilger

In this episode we talk with Alyson Caffrey about how we can take control of our maternity leave and be more intentional about the time we take off from work. We specifically cover how she helps small business owners along this journey so that they can leave their company for a short period of time without having to shut down anything or feel guilty for leaving in the process. If you are not a business owner this is still a really great episode because you can apply what we talk about here to help structure how your maternity leave may look. from work or even how you will transition at home with a new baby if you’re a stay at home mom or have a side gig you’re working on.

Baby boy has arrived and in this series of episodes I'm sharing whats been going on in the months after his birth. In this episode specifically I share from 7-10 months postpartum. I am now pumping almost exclusively because of biting issues and we have introduced formula into our feeding routine. We took a big trip this month and I also had to spend a weekend alone without my partner since he took a hiking trip with a friend. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode and how you are currently navigating motherhood. More updates to come as baby boy continues to grow and things progress along the first year postpartum.

118: Free Birth and Radical Motherhood with Dr. Kayla Abeid
In this episode we talk with Dr. Kayla Abeid about her experience with free birth and what the journey of motherhood has looked like for her.
This conversation was so insightful to listen to while we were actually recording. I hope you are able to pull so many empowering pieces from Kaylas journey because it truly is a beautiful perspective.
We go through how she prepared for her free birth and what that was like for her as far as finding the support and information to do so and also we lean into the postpartum experience as well. We talk about past traumas and needing to heal and the lessons that are presented to us in birth and postpartum. She shares about how she initially struggled with breastfeeding and how she also did a 40 day lay in. In this time she found the support she needed and talks about what a healing experience it really was.
Listening to Kayla is just such a treat in itself and she really has such a unique perspective of motherhood that we all can learn from. We also touch on having to leave our babies if and when we go back to work and how that decision looks different for every mother. We touch on the aspects of self care and especially the mental side of it. You could be doing all the external things but if you don’t work on the inner work you can be unable to heal in the ways you truly need to.
The overall vulnerability and ability to express the transition of entering motherhood in such great description makes this conversation so life giving. I hope this conversation inspires and lights you up as much as it did for me. So listen in and enjoy this full conversation of motherhood.
