Giving birth carries a lot of emotions for families, and moms sometimes have difficulty processing all of these feelings and emotions if they feel they didn't have a birth with choices.  Today we are talking to Nour Hachem Fawaz as she dives into her first birth that ended with a cesarean delivery and the feelings she had postnatal that she felt were connected to her feelings about her body and birthing team.  We discuss how different that looked with her second birth, where she felt supported and empowered to birth with choices and in control.  Even while birthing during a pandemic, developing cholestasis during pregnancy, building a team that supports your wishes, she felt like she was in control.  Nour expresses that when you get what you need during the birth process how it can change your physiological thoughts towards your mothering journey. Nour and the host share an intimate conversation about her journey through motherhood, Postpartum depression and the struggle that comes with all of it.  

Note: There is a lot of crying and laughing during this episode but in no way shape of form are we laughing at the seriousness of these very intimate topics. 

You can find access to the beautiful Nour and her leadership role with being an advocate for women in skilled trades through her website  www.webuildadream.com . Nour also has her own podcast and you can find it under the name Perfectly Unfiltered.
