5: The Weight of Motherhood

Talking Body with Amy Porterfield - February 8, 2021 - 47:15

This episode is all about motherhood, but you don't have to be a mother to relate to what we're going to talk about here. The pressure to become a mother, to have the right kind of pregnancy, to "bounce back" to your pre-pregnancy weight, to have it all + kids - these are just some of the topics we're going to discuss. Plus, Amy sits down with Kimberly Johnson - doula, bodyworker, and vaginapractor to talk about the disconnect that occurs between women and their bodies before, during, and after childbirth. She also chats with author Angela Garbes about breast milk and her unlikely path toward body activism.To learn more about Kimberly's work and upcoming book, visit https://www.magamama.comTo chat with Angela and pick up her book, Like a Mother, check out http://www.angelagarbes.com--Want a FREE guide to build successful habits for your life and business?
