Motherhood and Identity with Zoe Etkin: Co-founder of Embodied Doula Trainings; Ep34

  • By Maranda Bower
  • In All Posts, Podcasts, Well-Being

Zoe Etkin, the co-founder of Embodied Doula Trainings, joins us in this episode to discuss motherhood and identity shifts and shows how to navigate our identities as we go through this massive life change.

Zoe is a national leader in the birth and postpartum world. After spending many years doing this work in her own community, she has opened up her practice to support so many more in this profound inner journey that is motherhood.

She’s the author of several books, and I can’t wait to share with you all of her wisdom.

In the path to motherhood, so much of who we are is challenged and changed when we are, quite literally, cracked wide open and left raw.

Whether you are a provider or a new mother, this episode will challenge you and help you look deeper into the psycho-spiritual changes and the identity shifts that occur in postpartum.

It will help show you how to better expand and embody care for not only ourselves as mothers, but also the mothers we are caring for as providers and our friends and families as they step into parenthood.

Fellow providers, I challenge you to take the information from this episode and ask yourself this question, how are you honoring the identity shifts that occur in motherhood and beyond for your clients?

I can’t wait for you to listen in on this.

Let’s connect afterward in the postpartum circle Facebook group, let us know your thoughts!

We’ll see you there.

If you are someone who works with pregnant or post If you are someone who works with pregnant or postpartum women, OR you are a mama with a desire to get into the field of healing others at their very core...

Then I must share with you that the Postpartum Nutrition Certification is open to the public for enrollment!

As you know, I'm quite a chatterbox when it comes to everything postpartum nutrition.

And that's simply because proper functional therapeutic nutrition is foundational to healing. If we don't address this within our own lives and the women around us, we are missing the most foundational pieces to all health and well-being.

The Postpartum Nutrition Certification Program has already begun filling up, as it opened to the waitlist last week.

There is 1 spot remaining within this cohort.

Make sure you get your seat ASAP: www.PostpartumU.com/Certification

Doulas have gone mainstream and many are still lef Doulas have gone mainstream and many are still left questioning - do I really need one?

To deep dive into this question, we've brought in a truly incredible expert. HeHe Stewart @tranquilitybyhehe - founder of The Birth Lounge with years of experience as a birth doula and a masters in Human Development and Family Studies.

Together we're discussing the raw truth about which families would not benefit from bringing on a doula, why partners cannot replace this kind of support, and so much more.
