Australia's Post Partum Culture is quite frankly - unacceptable.
About this episode
In this week's episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' host Rita Pietrosanto discusses the viral reel she posted earlier in the year that criticizes Australia's postpartum culture. She contrasts Western postpartum practices with supportive traditions from around the globe, emphasising the need for better postpartum care. Rita shares personal experiences, strategies for preparing postpartum plans, and practical tips for new mothers to create their own support systems. She concludes by encouraging mothers to prioritise their well-being and seek out resources to ensure a nurturing postpartum experience.
