Sacred Meets Science: The Real Reason Providers Enter Postpartum Care EP 232

Update: 2025-09-09

Description

For so many postpartum care providers—from doulas and lactation consultants to doctors and therapists—the journey into this field is less of a convenient career path and often, more of a spiritual calling based on deeply personal experiences.

Maranda's getting right to the heart of the matter. She reveals the shocking truth about the gaps in women's healthcare and shares why so many new moms are forced to seek answers from online influencers instead of their own medical providers. She's also opening sharing her 15-year journey of creating a comprehensive resource that bridges ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-based science. This isn't just about a career path; it's about a revolution in postpartum care driven by personal experience and a passionate mission to ensure no mother is left to struggle alone.
