Heng Ou on Why Moms Need Postpartum Healing

In this first episode of Season 8 of The Motherly Podcast, Liz speaks with Heng Ou, the author of the book The First 40 Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother and the founder of Motherbees, which is a food and lifestyle company that supports women through every stage of motherhood. Liz talks to Heng about the important 40-day healing period after a mother gives birth, a practice which has been cultivated around the world since ancient times, but has been lost in our modern Western society. Heng explains why we need to support and nourish new moms and why it is so important to slow down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
