Description

Sensitive content warning- this podcast discusses the death of a baby.  

This is a beautiful, raw, vulnerable conversation with Mother and Doula Nancy McLean.

Nancy shares her very personal motherhood journey with us, including the birth and death of her first son Edison and then the birth of her second son Henley.

She discusses her grief and what motherhood looked like after the death of a baby, including how it shaped the way she mothers Henley.

We also chat about continuing to breastfeed an older toddler and the judgement society places on mothers who choose to do so. 

We briefly begin to chat about what a Birth Doula is and the important role they play in helping women to feel empowered in the birthing space. 

But more on that next week...
