The importance of good postnatal care and recovery -An interview with Sophie Messager

Sophie Messager joins us in the Cauldron to talk about her new
book Why Postnatal Recovery Matters

We talk all things becoming a mother, including how a lovely pigs
trotter soup or lotus birth is the perfect way to avoid too many
visitors. We explore the raw, real and forgotten side of the 4th
trimester and the misconception that mothering is 'just doing
nothing' and the mother guilt and expectations put upon women.
Sophie discusses the best ways to support women as they navigate
the early days of mothering. And lastly, we discuss the beautiful
'closing the bones' ceremony', which aims to bring the new mother
back to herself energetically, spiritually and physically. 


This episode is for new parents and anyone who cares for new
parents in the postnatal period.
