A special offering from our hearts to yours. This season’s mini episodes are a 5-part collaboration with Marlies Verschoor, a self-care guide from the Netherlands whose mission is to support people on their path to self-love and connection. Each week Marlies and Indigo will explore how mothers can better care for themselves through loving self-connection. Each mini episode will offer a heart point, a self-share, a world share, a self-care strategy and a meditation.

This week’s offerings:

Heart Point: The mother in me is born alongside my baby

Self Share: Marlies talks about how in the Netherlands you have a helper after the birth for a week. Indigo shares her experience of birthing alone during COVID and how her second pregnancy has focused on creating a community of care. We talk about how each birth heralds a birth of a new self: from ‘the innocent mother’(first birth) to the shrewd mother (second birth).

World Share: Matresence: physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother.

Strategy of self-care: How to create your own maternity and postpartum care plan,

Meditation: “The mother in me is born alongside my baby”
