143. The Black Hole of Healthcare and Postpartum with Jodi Graves

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest, Jodi Graves, believes there’s a serious lack of help from the medical community for mamas in those first six weeks postpartum. In fact, she refers to this time as The Black Hole of healthcare.  In our conversation, we discuss more about The Black Hole of healthcare, what women can do to find support in those six to eight weeks postpartum, and the importance of nutrition while the body is healing. She also explains the differences between a birth doula and a postpartum doula, telling us more about the options available to pregnant women. Jodi is a clinical nutritionist, birth & postpartum doula, agency owner, and host of the podcast 'Tea with Jodi'. She is so passionate about her work and has made it her mission to bring real change to birth and postpartum health in the United States.  Some big takeaways are:Certain foods will help your body heal postpartum. Having a community will help you heal mentally, physically, and emotionally.You have permission to say when something doesn’t feel right - don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself. Take a listen and learn more by reading the show notes! https://www.newmomboss.com/blog/143 Join the waitlist for the Prepping For Postpartum Workshop!https://www.newmomboss.com/pfp-waitlist Work with me 1:1! https://www.newmomboss.com/guidance Follow me on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newmomboss/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newmombossGuest Resources: Michigan Family Doulas: Website |  Instagram Tea With Jodi Podcast | InstagramFacebook Group: Tell Me A Story….About Your Birth!Looking for pregnancy support?Join the waitlist for the Prepping For Postpartum Workshop!www.newmomboss.com/pfp-waitlistWork with me 1:1!www.newmomboss.com/guidance Follow me on social media!Instagram: www.instagram.com/newmomboss/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/newmomboss
