In this heart-centered episode of Mom Traversal, hosts Tori, Alyssa, and Leeah sit down with postpartum doula Margo to explore the emotional and physical realities of the postpartum period. Together, they unpack what true postpartum support looks like, how doulas can play a vital role in recovery, and why communication and community are essential for every new mother.
Margo shares her experience working with families, offering practical guidance on nutrition, rest, partner involvement, and emotional healing after birth.
