#02 My Postnatal Struggles That Spurred Me To Become a Birth Recovery Coach

In this episode I share the ‘why’ behind what I do as a Birth Recovery Coach. You will hear me share some of the resources and people that really helped me, and how I recognised that I needed help. I touch on my personal experience as a new Mum; birth trauma*, PTSD and subsequently the growth. I speak a little into the unnecessary pressures placed on new Mums and why recovery and true support after birth can set us up much better for the road ahead.

Pregnancy, birth, motherhood and matrescence deserve far more respect, reverence, appreciation and compassionate understanding. What a woman and her body goes through is huge, and I aim to convey why that and she matters in this episode.

Themes: Birth Trauma, PTSD, Mental Health, Postnatal Fitness, Postnatal Recovery

*For anyone affected by birth trauma and worried about being triggered, I do not talk about my birth experience in detail. I do share a poem I wrote about my birth experience at the end though (19 minutes in).
