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.

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.   Connect more with Dr. Kayla Abeid: Instagram: lovelightfamilychiropractic Website: www.loveandlightfamilychiropractic.com   Connect more with The Entering Motherhood Podcast: Instagram: entering_motherhood and sarah_marie_bilger Facebook: EnteringMotherhoodPodcast Website: www.enteringmotherhood.com   Official Affiliates of the Podcast: Hypnobabies (MOTHERHOOD20 for 20% off)  Made for Mama Shop (ENTERINGMOTHERHOOD for 15% off) Postpartum University (Postpartum Nutrition Plan and Certification)
