Midwifery Wisdom Podcast | Thriving in the Postpartum Period

*A special thanks to this week's sponsor, Lodwar Bookkeeping!*

In this episode of the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast, host Augustine Colebrook is joined by the esteemed Dr. Diane Speier, an expert psychotherapist specializing in postpartum health.

Together, they delve into the often overlooked yet critical phase of life after birth, offering valuable insights and practical advice. They explore why birth preparation hasn't evolved much over the years and emphasize the need for better education and readiness for this life-changing event. And of course, discuss the medical-industrial complex and how mamas can still be in charge of their birth regardless of the environment they birth in.

Dr. Speier also introduces her transformative book, Life After Birth, and her comprehensive course, 8 Keys for Thriving in the Fourth Trimester, which provide essential tools for a smoother transition into parenthood. Both of these are beautiful tools midwives can recommend to their clients and also use to better help their clients navigate the postpartum period.

Tune in for a deep dive into postpartum health and empowering birth preparations that every expecting and new parent should hear.
