There is a lot of support for babies after birth, but virtually nothing for the healing mother.
Why is it that new mothers often feel forgotten once their babies are born? In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Jude Galea sits down with Zoe Gardiner, a passionate advocate for post-partum care, to tackle this pressing issue. Zoe, a mother of two and a research scientist, founded the not-for-profit organization Postpartum Matters after her own challenging experience of being discharged just 10 days after giving birth.
She quickly realized the glaring gaps in support for mothers during this crucial healing period. Zoe and Dr. Jude dive into the struggles many new mothers face, from physical recovery to mental health challenges like post-partum depression. Zoe shares her personal journey and emphasizes the urgent need for a healthcare model that doesn't just focus on newborns but also prioritizes the mother's well-being.
She argues that the current system often leaves women feeling isolated and unsupported, which can have long-lasting effects on their mental and physical health. The conversation also explores the importance of birth trauma awareness and the role of holistic healing methods in post-partum recovery. Zoe introduces her new platform, Witchy Women, which connects mothers with trusted alternative therapists to provide comprehensive support. She believes that integrating these holistic approaches can significantly enhance the recovery process for new mothers.
This episode is a call to action for better post-partum care. Zoe encourages mothers to speak up about their experiences and demand the support they deserve. Whether you're a new mom, expecting, or know someone who is, this discussion sheds light on the vital need for change in how we care for mothers after childbirth.
