Mothers are Essential w/Angela Garbes
Season 2 Episode 17
Angela Garbes
In today’s episode, pelvic floor and women’s health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch and motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey talk with author Angela Garbes about the inspiration for her first book, Like a Mother, where Angela explores some of the questions we have all probably asked ourselves, too: What is the placenta? How do we go into labor? Why is breast best?
Like a Mother explores the science behind these questions, among others, that women have regarding everything from pregnancy loss, to complicated labors to postpartum changes, and why women deserve access to better care, support, and information. This was a fascinating, and eye opening, discussion on exactly what it means to mother, and how important the work of mothering is to society, something we are all well aware of in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
See you on the other side!
