Description
This week’s Brooke sits down for a heartfelt discussion with Jojo Hogan: founder of the Slow Postpartum movement, yoga teacher, aromatherapist, massage therapist and doula.
Jojo has been working with expectant mothers for many years, and now specialises as a postpartum doula, providing much needed support to mothers after giving birth. There are so many beautiful intersections between slow living principles and the postpartum care practices that Jojo provides and educates around, and especially considering her own experience as a new mother, Brooke was so excited to have Jojo on the show.
Brooke and Jojo talk about the pillars of postpartum care that cultures around the world share, the importance of deciding your parenting values before baby arrives, how women can create their own villages to support them after birth, and ways to bring more slow and presence to a stressful time.
Questions featured in this episode:
When did your own journey of slowing down and simplifying begin? What prompted it?
When did you begin working with new parents?
What does a slow postpartum look like?
What’s something realistic that a new parent can do to bring some slowness into those early days post-birth?
How can we approach the ‘stuff’ that often comes with having a baby with a slower, more conscious mindset?
