108: The Wound of Babies, with Alexandria DeRose

Do Something Beautiful

Welcome to the third of a 3-part series on the unique and yet also universal wounds that we experience as women.
Today, we're talking about Babies. There are a lot of serious conversations to have around motherhood, fertility, and the things we assume are in competition with having babies.
We discuss what babies and dreams do to each other - how they change and expand. We also go about debunking some of the lies and the false fears that surround these conversations by examining the human body and the power of understanding our fertility.
