353: Behind The Sessions: Venting About How Moms Are Treated
We would all love to only associate positive things with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, but that’s just not everyone’s experience. Unfortunately, many people have negative emotions, triggers, traumas, and heartbreak around these major life events. I get mad on behalf of parents, especially mothers, during the perinatal time because of the real injustices many parents face. So many of these could be prevented if people were trained properly with awareness and compassion. I’m doing a bit of polite yelling in today’s soapbox edition of the podcast. Join me!
