S2E10 Healing in Community: Student Edition with Vicky and DeZarayé
Explicit content warning
03/14/23 • 47 min
This week Bianca is joined by two of our incredible alumni: Vicky Cadot and DeZarayé Manning. Both Vicky and DeZarayé share their passion for birth, healing and body autonomy.
Vicky struggled with CPTSD (Complex Postraumatic Stress Disorder) after suffering religious and sexual abuse. After suffering a panic attack while caring for her children, she realized she needed to do some deep healing work and she found a community that helped her name and understand what she was going through. She started reconnecting to herself, to the things that brought her joy and made her shine. She realized she was pregnant with her 5th child and decided to advocate for herself and embark in the journey of unassisted homebirth. She now runs her own business serving families and is a leader for Black doulas in Quebec.
DeZarayé also experienced trauma, in her case it was in the form of getting electrocuted at work and having to leave her career as a body worker, which she was deeply passionate about. DeZarayé first tried to heal in silence, ignoring red flags and the signals of her body, but eventually she found a community that helped her do the deep work. Finding birth work helped her come back to herself and get grounded. She is now pregnant with her second child and planning an unassisted homebirth.

S2 E09 How the Postpartum Snap-back is a recipe for suffering
This week Bianca and Meg are talking about one of the most harmful, almost comical lies we tell new parents: the idea that they will be able to "bounce" or "snap" back into their pre-pregnancy life. This devastating myth has us focusing on all the wrong things: shrink your body, hide any signs of discomfort, ignore your mental health, prioritize your child while also taking care of everyone else and yourself, and do it all alone. This unattainable, cruel picture is the reason why so many new parents are suffering from Postpartum Mood Disorders (PMADs). Bianca and Meg take a deep dive at the complicated realities of postpartum and help us re-prioritize the things that bring us joy.

S2 E11 Overcoming the Gap Between Expectations and Reality: How to Reclaim Joy in Motherhood
This week Bianca and Marissa chat about societal expectations around motherhood all the way from getting pregnant to the parenting experience.
They discuss the harmful idea that there is some sort of magical list of steps to follow in order to achieve the dream of a happy, peaceful, nuclear family. They also talk about the ways in which we can reclaim joy, play, connection and love in our identities as mothers and how that experience can be deeply healing and transformational.
