Description

In this episode of Mama Becoming: Birth & Beyond, I speak with Makenzie — also a doula based in Dubai — about the emotional and physical realities of life after birth.

Makenzie had a powerful birth experience, but the early postpartum days brought new challenges — from unexpected breastfeeding difficulties to figuring out sleep, healing a small labial tear, and learning to trust her instincts.

She speaks openly about needing company more than help, why she values second opinions, and how important it is to let go of the pressure to have a perfect postpartum.

This episode is a gentle, honest reminder that support, self-awareness, and small wins matter deeply in those early weeks.
