In this episode, postpartum doula and infant massage instructor Mazz Napier joins to me to share her story. We talk about lots, with a focus on learning to get comfortable with the opposing emotions that often coexist in motherhood - for Mazz, the grief for the baby she'd lost and joy for the new baby in her arms. We cover tuning out the external noise, pressures and expectations, particularly around sleep. And Mazz's career shift and what she's so passionate about a well-supported postpartum that fosters personal growth.
