It Takes a Village: Postnatal Support, Anxiety & Finding Your People

In this episode, I’m joined by the lovely Jade, also known as Jade the Postnatal Doula – mum to Noah, NHS worker, Playground and Growth Nest member, and all-round gentle soul.

Jade shares how her own experience of postnatal anxiety and returning to work after maternity leave led her to retrain as a postnatal doula. We talk about:

What a postnatal doula actually does day to dayWhy community and being “truly seen” mattered so much in her own postpartumHow small things like a safe group, a hot meal and someone to ask “silly” questions can change everythingThe reality of juggling part-time work, motherhood and building a businessHer Mama Meet Ups, WhatsApp support and why postnatal care shouldn’t be a luxury

If you’re pregnant, a new mum, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more held.

As Jade says, “The mum already has everything she needs to care for her baby – it takes a village to care for the mum.”
