Today Jody is joined by Sole Del Riccio-Smith and Dylan Smith to discuss their fertility and postpartum journey. 

In this conversation we cover their preconception preparation and how they did 30 days of Panchakarma at home during COVID under the guidance of their Ayurvedic doctor. They both highlight how important it was for them to surrender themselves totally to the process even up to the point of waiting for their Vaidya (Dr) to say the time was right for them to start trying to conceive. 

Sole shares how important it was for her to have a quiet safe space to not just birth but be with her baby after the birth. In Ayurveda it is customary for the mother, father and baby to spend 42 days close to home and we learn why this is so important for the mother and baby. Dylan discusses how food is important in preconception and postpartum but in pregnancy it is important for a woman to eat a sattvic diet that brings her peace and happiness.

Both Sole and Dylan highlight how essential it is to calm Vata throughout the entire preconception, fertility and postpartum journey and speak about how friends and family were an integral part of doing that by providing love and warmth to them through home-cooked meals and support.
