Your Dry January Cheat Sheet with The Dry Challenge Author Hilary Sheinbaum

Carson Meyer is a DONA certified Birth Doula, birth photographer, and founder of an all natural, sustainable skincare line C & The Moon. She attended New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she pursued studies in child development, art therapy, and alternative medicine. In 2016 Carson returned to Los Angeles and began her journey as a doula with training from Bini Birth founder and DONA President, Ana Paula Markel. Today, Carson is professionally trained to support parents in a non-medical capacity through pregnancy, birth and the initial postpartum period to help them achieve a healthy and satisfying birth experience. In this episode, Carson breaks down the process of working with a doula and the options available to mothers-to-be. We also talk about the issues facing our maternal care industry and how we can work together to bring deeper awareness and advocacy for women during the pregnancy process. And lastly, Carson shares some of her favorite resources, to the best books for expecting mothers to how we can show up for our pregnant loved ones in a time of isolation. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Carson is now hosting a community group called Growing Together. Growing Together is an intimate virtual circle for pregnant people interested in building community while deepening their knowledge around birth. This 12-session interactive circle covers topics such as healthy pregnancy practices for mind & body, childbirth education, tools for preparing for a hospital or home birth, comfort measures in labor, postpartum preparation and more. She offers weekly emails full of recipes, journaling prompts, expert advice and evidence based information. The sessions she leads not only offer you invaluable knowledge for birth and beyond, but also offer an intimate community of mothers to lean on. All mothers are welcome! The next session begins on January 6th - you can sign up here. https://www.carson-meyer.com/bookings-checkout/growing-together-january-2021?referral=book_button_widget&mc_eid=%5BUNIQID%5D Follow Carson on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ccmeyer/ Shop C & The Moon (One of Liv’s favorite skin scrubs ever!!) https://www.candthemoon.com/ Produced by Dear Media
