What Village? Postpartum Doula with Cheryl

When you have a baby, they talk about leaning on "your village". Most people don't have a village to lean on. It's not like it used to be where families all lived together and everyone helped everyone. We all live in our individual homes, with our nuclear families, leaving it to the parents to do it all such as stay up with the kids, cook/clean, shower, heal, breastfeed, do self care, bond, teach, work on your marriage/partnership, get out of the house, laundry, experiences, etc. These feel like impossible tasks that everyone is expected to complete perfectly and with a smile. It feels impossible because it is and we weren't meant to live that way. We were meant to have villages to help. So what does a village look like in modern society? It means you have to pay for it. I had no idea there was a postpartum doula as an option. I knew of night nurses, etc., but I didn't realize the postpartum doula is there to just take care of the mom. I love this, because everyone's focus is always the baby. Tune into this episode to hear Cheryl discuss what her job is like as a postpartum doula and what she offers new moms. She is a joy to listen to!
