Cultivating Connection, Community, Partnership, Support, and Intimacy
Description
My vibrant friend Vera Marcinko is this episode’s guest of honor. As a doula, Vera is a birth and postpartum mentor who shares her own postpartum journey, and its effect on her health, her marriage, and her identity. There’s something in this episode for everyone, as we go wide and deep, covering:
+Why community is crucial for humans, especially in pivotal life moments
+What you can do if you feel unsupported as a partner, a parent, a friend - or just a human in general
+How to connect with yourself and others
+How to navigate intimacy as new parents
+What constitutes true intimacy
+What to do when you feel stuck/powerless/alone
+How approaching partnership, parenthood, and life from a place of understanding changes everything
+How to fill your own cup, especially as a caregiver
+Why you should prioritize patterns over perfection
A very meaningful and helpful episode.
