EP108: What Mothers REALLY Need with Kaitlin McGreyes

  • By Maranda Bower
  • In All Posts, Blog, Podcasts

 

 

Let’s be real. Our society breezes right past the needs of a new mother when it comes to what she should receive at a baby shower. Sure, nipple cream and burb cloths are great.

But it’s time to change the outdated ways of inundating new parents with piles of stuff for the baby and give them what they TRULY need.

Kaitlin McGreyes is the founder of BeHerVillage.

She started doula work in 2014 and is passionate about creating access to maternal care for all. Through her gift registry platform, Kaitlin is reimagining birth and postpartum support as baby shower gifts.

If you haven’t heard of this new and unconventional way to support expecting mothers, y’all are in for a special treat…

In this episode, we are sharing:

  1. BeHerVillage reduces the overwhelm of decision fatigue in new motherhood. Stressing about every choice she makes is the last thing a new mom needs.
  2. Reframing the narrative of what new parents need is at the center of the BeHerVillage mission. (Hint: it’s not all the stuff!)
  3. BeHerVillage has an ulterior when it comes to doula care and postpartum support by providing it as a gift and making it more mainstream.

We're being lied to. Postpartum anxiety, depressi We're being lied to. 
Postpartum anxiety, depression, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and maternal suicide are not simply "normal" risks of modern motherhood. 
It isn't "just hormones." 
And yes, there is plenty we can do to change the story for moms around the world.

To be completely honest, I once believed that a po To be completely honest, I once believed that a postpartum detox was not a necessary step in the path toward whole-body healing. 
After all, our body knows how to detox by itself, right? 🤷‍♀️

After reviewing some new research (and seeing how toxic our environment is beyond what our bodies could have ever expected), it’s very clear that detox may be a necessary component of healing after childbirth. 
Still, there are SO many questions involved before you can even implement a plan of action.

Should you detox after having a baby? 
What if you’re breastfeeding? 
Is there a safe way to do it? 
Is it actually necessary in order to heal?

The science is there to support the benefits of a whole-body detox. 
Since the postpartum period is such a sensitive and important time, extra consideration and knowledge are required in order to utilize this process to its full potential.
If you're looking to guide your clients toward a full-body postpartum detox, definitely suggest these 5 steps listed here. 

Ready to take a deep dive into the science behind detoxing, how it impacts the body, why/when it's important, and a step-by-step guide on how to do it safely and effectively (working WITH the body's natural ability to detox)? 
I invite you to check out the Detoxing in Postpartum 90-minute training

I need your help! Early this year, I published my I need your help!

Early this year, I published my book, Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness. For the sake of brevity, the publisher messed up on multiple things, including not being able to keep stock to meet demand. Then there was quality issues (finally fixed!). Then Amazon had a tech error that couldn't help me publish (I kid you not "sorry, we're having server issues...").

Needless to say, not only are we back in full swing with quality, we also have an e-book version (right now for $2.99), we're sold across the world, and we're needing your review!

(Part of cutting ties with the previous publisher also meant losing alllll our 5-start reviews *crying*)

HERE'S WHERE I'M REALLY NEEDING YOUR HELP:

•	If you've gotten a copy of my book in the past, please take a second to leave a review: ***book link in bio goes to my page. Click “buy now” which will take you to Amazon

•	If you haven't gotten a copy yet, I'm giving away e-books for $2.99 for this week only. Once you've read it, please take a second to leave a review. ***book link in bio goes to my page. Click “buy now”.

If you've never heard of this book before, you're in for a special treat. Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness is a holistic step-by-step guide that exists to break down barriers, bring you back into your body, and support you in creating more meaningful and consistent healing throughout your life, no matter where you are within your postpartum years.

Thank you immensely for your support. I seriously could not have come this far without your help. We're so close!
