Last episode for 2020! This year's last episode is with Carla Muhling - a doula and mother of two! Carla has an interesting story, having lived in and out of intentional communities and off grid during her first pregnancy and postpartum period. She shares what that was like versus her current situation living in town.  Carla shares postpartum strategies that she uses with her clients, and how her work as a doula was informed by her two very different postpartum experiences. We talk about catharsis and the realisations born from that, healing and learning through loss, and whether or not we can achieve some sense of a 'village' in our modern, nuclear structures.

I hope you enjoy - and will see you back here in the new year!

CW: early pregnancy loss

RESOURCE NOTES:

Resources provided by Carla as follows... "For the pregnancy loss I loved reading the book 'Mothering From your Centre' by Tami Lynn Kent. For those in NNSW, seek out Julia Rossmanith @thenurturedwomb for pregnancy release and womb healing, or if living elsewhere to find a Holistic Pelvic Care therapist. I highly recommend the podcast by @wild.womb.witch So many healing and validating stories of early birth."
