We are joined this week by two super special guests, Bri and her baby girl Raven! We chat about all the things Bri did to prep for Raven’s birth, despite her birth not going to plan. We also chat about having space to grieve the loss of the birth experience you’ve planned for and the validity of feeling MORE than just a feeling of “relief” that baby is healthy. Instead, that it’s ok to feel upset that the experience didn’t unfold the way it was envisioned. Bri tells us how she’s processed this experience and what to say instead of “at least you have a healthy baby”. In this episode, we also discuss the importance of mindset and managing anxiety and intrusive thoughts prenatally and how it can serve you well entering postpartum.
