In this episode we are honoring the importance of Maternal Mental Health month and what I’ve been up to since coming back from our two-month-long trip to France. The time to be vulnerable and open is now, so in this very special episode, I am sharing one of my birth stories with you for the very first time. The ritual act of storytelling is the interconnecting web that weaves us together through our experiences. And connecting through experiences can create a butterfly effect leading us closer to our own blossoming. Now, let's get cozy and listen in as I share my story.Stay connected with me:~ IG @synmiarosine @talkbirthrites @theepeoplesfarmResources:Postpartum Support International National Maternal Mental Health Hotline Get full access to Synmia Rosine's substack at synmiarosine.substack.com/subscribe
