The times when I was meant to be basking in the joy of motherhood were riddled with depression and anxiety which haunts me to this day.
While working as a critical care RN in the COVID unit I became pregnant again in 2020 with my daughter. This was the catalyst that drastically changed the course in my career. I wanted this postpartum to be different and after diligently studying and preparing for my first 40 days I witnessed firsthand the power of what a supported, holistic, and loving postpartum period could look like.
