11/16/23 • 47 min
We shared Dr. Morgan's fourth home birth story in episode #42, and now here we are going over questions you all had about her postpartum in regards to newborn sleep as well as managing an extended postpartum lie-in period. We talk about how and why Sunny sleeps on her stomach, how she handles the rough nights, and how her husband and her split nighttime baby care...or not. Then we dive into what a postpartum lie in rest period looks like - how many days, how to plan expectations with family and friends, if she has mom guilt about her lack of involvement with her other kids - and spoiler alert, she does. A lot. Hear all about it here in this part 1 of 2 series - lets go!

#44: TTC During the Holidays: Health Tips
Today's episode is packed full of health tips for navigating the holidays when you are trying to conceive! The holidays often bring many events and circumstances that aren't always in alignment with optimal health and fertility, such as drinking alcohol, over-indulging on desserts and treats, traveling, being stressed, and navigating toxin exposures while traveling or staying at other people's homes, just to name a few. Today I interviewed Sadie Ackerman, an integrative mental health consultant, and we discussed how to make better choices while still enjoying yourself, how to navigate choosing different behaviors than you have in the past, and how to have difficult conversations if they are necessary. This episode really applies to all of us as we move into the holiday season, however, if you dream of having a baby soon or someday, this is especially important. Let's dive right in!
Our Guest:
Sadie Ackerman
Sadie is an integrative mental health consultant who specializes in integrative psychology and emotional well-being to help highly sensitive women navigate their sensitivities, family and romantic relationships, career, trauma, and mood disorders. She is especially gifted at teaching others emotional intelligence, communication, and healthy relationship tools.
