Conceiving, being pregnant, giving birth and then learning to be someone's parent by immediately being responsible for the survival of a new being are all challenging experiences that contain within them, an endless set of possibilities to grow.

Today I finish my conversation with Molly. In this episode, she compares her expectations at the birth with her experience and learns that the expectations she had about the first encounter with her baby after birth is built on a false narrative. She also shares her process for increasing milk production when breastfeeding and the important lessons she learned from the 10 year runway that preceded the birth of her son.
