Today we chat with Monique, Postpartum Doula and co-founder of Maia Mothers Collective in Brisbane, QLD. Monique walks us through a postpartum planning exercise including a bunch of practical, helpful tricks to help us to feel nurtured, empowered and solid in our postpartum experience. 

We chat about:
- Our own postpartum experiences and the impact of lack of boundaries
- How to navigate tricky situations like guests staying too long
- How to have hard conversations and hold boundaries
- Confinement periods in postpartum and what this can look like
- Helping your partner and your village to help you
- Utilising your village - meal trains, housework etc

There's so much gold in this episode - feel free to share with anyone in your life expecting a baby!
