Breaking the Postpartum Paradigm: Podcast EP1

  • By admin
  • In All Posts, Podcasts, Well-Being

I am so glad you have found my podcast and I can’t wait to share all of the hugely important information surrounding postpartum with you.

I have so much to say about postpartum health and well being, and much of what I’m going to share with you does not really fit the mold.

There are some massive myths and misconceptions around postpartum in the years after, and all of that is deeply affecting the way we as mothers experience motherhood.

These myths and misconceptions are happening for two main reasons: One reason is, there just isn’t a lot of data or science on postpartum and caring for mothers, it just doesn’t exist. The second reason is women are making up their own formulas and plans and solutions to fill a huge need for this gap in our healthcare. 

I can’t wait to dive into the depths of postpartum with all of you and find ways to support you along this journey. Make sure to leave a review and follow the podcast so you never miss a new episode when it goes live! Thank you for being here!If you want to work together with me you can reach me here, https://marandabower.com/contact/. 

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:

  • Common misconceptions around women in postpartum and their needs
  • Lack of science and data on postpartum and caring for mothers
  • Misinformation that is so readily available for mothers searching for help, that doesn’t treat the cause of any issues
  • The importance of taking control of your healing
  • While community after childbirth would be wonderful, it is not communities fault
  • We need to stand up and demand the support we desperately need AND deserve
  • While communities and people need educated on postpartum, we cannot rely on them for our healing when we are all suffering with these issues
  • Why postpartum?
  • Science and information behind the importance of postpartum healing and nutrition
  • It all begins with you
  • Introducing all of my wonderful Launch Affiliate Sisters that support women and have helped make this possible (All links will be listed below in resources! Be sure to reach out to them if their services can support you!)

Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to o Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to our epic free masterclass yesterday. 

Without your commitment to serving women and families, this would absolutely not be possible.

The Postpartum Herbs, Care, and Practice course series and 100-page downloadable book will give you a fundamental understanding of herbal use specifically in postpartum, and how you can use this information within your scope of practice.

If you’re ready to begin your herbal journey, this is an incredible place to start.

Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depres Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depression and anxiety?

Do you know why so many of us run to comfort food in times of stress?

Here’s an important truth bomb:

💥Your stomach has more nerve cells than your brain.💥

This is also why food has the ability to calm our emotions more completely than any breathing technique ever will. The link between our stomach and our brain health is undeniable.

POOR GUT HEALTH AND LACK OF NUTRIENTS ARE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.

Take that in for a second.

As professionals showing up to serve, we must understand this in order to elevate our practice and truly help mothers and families thrive.

We need root cause care. Click the link in my bio to save your seat for the Postpartum Nutrition Certification Program!

“Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly. “Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly.

Although the signs that this isn’t working are everywhere, where do we look when stepping outside of the modern norm?

It is this crossroads where we’re given the opportunity to come home to the traditions and cultural practices that have been lost across generations.

The secret to a better way of experiencing motherhood rests in this wisdom.

The way back, however, requires a deep process of discovery and digging back to our roots. Today, we’re here to share our best advice and what we’ve been working on at Postpartum University to help you get started.

When I first started working as a childbirth educa When I first started working as a childbirth educator, doula, and nutrition coach nearly 15 years ago, I was absolutely terrified of HERBS. 😖

Over the last several years, my attitude has changed significantly. I've had the privilege to homestead on a 40-acre forest in Alaska (where I've lived 100% of the time for the last several years). I've grown comfortable foraging wild berries and harvesting devils club, wild chamomile, rose hips, fireweed, and so much more.

My passion for the land and its medicine took me into a Women's Herbalist Certification program, and I've had the advantage of working with locals to learn and grow my own love of God's earthly medicine.

And even more importantly, I've learned that herbs are nothing to be afraid of. Over the last few generations, the healthcare industry and medical market has successfully placed fear, worry, and anxiety over herbs, marking them as dangerous, unknown, and highly risky, especially in pregnancy and postpartum.

I fell for the "it's not safe and it's out of my scope" trap. And I see so many professionals doing the exact same.

This is exactly why I created the free upcoming training:

How to Use Herbs in Postpartum (Safely)!

A free masterclass for professionals who want to incorporate traditional root medicine into their practice without feeling constant worry.

In this 90 minute masterclass, you'll be learning:

🌿 How to use herbs effectively and safely in the sensitive postpartum period, even when you're not an herbalist.
🌿 A 4-step framework that makes herbal knowledge and use significantly easier to understand and apply.
🌿 Using herbs as Root Cause medicine while busting myths that have kept herbal knowledge in the hands of few.
🌿 And plenty more!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! This will be held on August 17th at:

10am Alaska Standard Time (AST)
1pm Central Standard Time (CST)
6pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Limited seats available. REPLAY AVAILABLE.

We will conclude with a Q+A session and you will be given a followup juicy BONUS download with specific information that goes beyond this Masterclass (for live attendees only).
