Managing Overwhelming Moments & Birth Smarter with Ashley Brichter
In this episode we dive into using the lessons we learn in pregnancy and childbirth prep to set us up for a more successful postpartum and parenting experience. What I’m saying is, the lessons you learn in pregnancy don’t stay in pregnancy, they come with you! And you can leverage the information you gain from every facet of your life to play to the top of your intelligence and make YOUR best decisions.
In this episode...
- How to manage overwhelming moments
- Being a recovering perfectionist and using it to your advantage
- The NYC marathon and the marathon of pregnancy/birth
- Relating to and navigating a system that isn’t built for you
- Handling negative feedback
- What are you/your household/your family optimizing for?
Ashley Brichter is a birth and parenting educator, a family strategist, Fair Play facilitator, and entrepreneur. Despite her experience with hundreds of families as a doula and birth educator – like so many, her first birth did not “go as planned.” Better for it, she founded Birthsmarter in 2019, which provides unbiased, inclusive, and award-winning practical wisdom and guidance to the next generation of families. Ashley was born and raised in New York City, though she’s currently living in Salt Lake City with her husband and two amazing kids. Learn more at www.birthsmarter.com and on IG @birthsmarter
