Social Media Detox

In this episode I talk with Monique about her experience of a home birth here in Omaha, NE. We dive into: common fears, what the difference between a doula and midwife is, the types of midwives & what to look for when choosing one, postpartum depression & ways to support yourself, how important the placenta is and what benefits it offers, pricing when looking for a doula/midwife.

I took a month and a half long break off social media. It wasn’t something new for me, but in this episode I talk about how social media is designed, constantly selling us, putting us in comparison, and creating more separation. I talk about how it compared to detoxing from alcohol, how my world got quieter, and how my body feels scrolling vs not being on it all. Some pretty life shifts happened while I wasn’t on social media - the election, and purchasing a condo of my own. I talk about how different my experience was of those without seeing how the world reacted, and how not sharing my own life event was a different experience.
