First time Pandemic birthing, babies, business and lock down parenting with Sylvie Prud’homme

This week speak with my friend Sylvie Prud’homme.

Mother to Béa and owner of two salons here in the west end of Toronto. @thelofttoronto

My first job here in Canada was working for Sylvie before having my son Bodie.

It’s funny how motherhood changes and reconnects relationships. It’s true to say that’s the case for us.

After losing touch for a couple years, both having our baby girls at the beginning of 2020, we found lots of connection and support in the process.

Sylvie talks very openly of how motherhood has changed her. Expectations vs reality and how she coped with birth and parenthood for the first time at the beginning of the pandemic. And how that mixed with being a small business owner in lockdown felt for her.

Mothers giving birth in the middle of a pandemic for the first time are hero’s in my eyes.

What a daunting experience that must be.

This episode was recorded back in October 2020. It is comforting listen for those having a baby now. Proof women are doing incredible things in an extraordinary time.

Thanks Sylvie for sharing so openly about the reality of pandemic birthing and parenting. I am sure so many will resonate with your experience.

You are doing a great job.
