#004: This week's guest is Brenda Munson, who lives in Portland, Oregon with her family, which includes her husband and their 3-year-old son. In this episode, Brenda talks about her path to pregnancy, explains her unexpected aversion to being pregnant, and tells the story about her 63-hour labor which led to the arrival of her son via vacuum-assisted birth. Brenda also talks about her commitment to breastfeeding and finding the balance between permissiveness and boundary setting as a parent. Brenda is open about how critical she became of her body during the postpartum period and shares how she eventually found a more loving relationship with her post-baby body. She also discusses her gradual journey back into sexual intimacy with her husband after the baby, explains what she means when she uses the phrase 'turned on' and melts over her experience of a mother’s love. Finally, Brenda reveals a provocative mom confession.
