Being in Motherhood Podcast

Amidst the joys of a motherhood journey, there is an undercurrent of challenge unlike any other you’ll face in your life, requiring a different kind of strength than your pre-motherhood days. The current maternal healthcare system sets moms up to get weaker in pregnancy and start motherhood with a deficit of strength and energy. This means the vast majority of mothers are slogging through motherhood feeling weak and discouraged. It’s time for that to change. Each week, Pregnancy and Postpartum Exercise Specialists (and sisters!) Kendra Fitzgerald and Nicole Coons will bring you the deep conversations needed with the practical tips and knowledge moms need to make bold decisions, heal their bodies, and live their motherhood on THEIR terms.

The Power of Healing Your Birth Story (Plus 4 Tools on How to Do It)

October 25, 2022 • Kendra Fitzgerald & Nicole Coons • Episode 8

Birth is a HUGE event.

Yet, so often we overlook that birth is going to have an imprint on our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls for life.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about birth stories. Specifically, why healing yours is crucial to your success as a mother. We’ll cover four tools to help you heal your story and tell some success anecdotes illustrating what can happen when you do!

Humans connect through storytelling. What we need most in motherhood, when we’re processing our birth, is a sense of connection. So if you’re willing to tell aspects of your story, you’re willing to open the door to healing.
