This week, we have the incredible Teresa Palmer sharing her heartfelt journey through motherhood, acting, and wellness advocacy. Teresa’s Zen-like approach to handling life’s challenges and her genuine humility offer a grounding perspective that will resonate deeply with anyone navigating the complexities of parenting and professional life.

Join us as we explore the emotional highs and lows of childbirth, the bittersweet realities of raising children close in age, and the critical importance of a supportive environment during labor. Teresa openly discusses her personal birth experiences, the unpredictability of home births, and the necessity of adaptability. We also touch on the concept of creating a sacred space for the first 40 days postpartum, balancing career demands, and how these experiences shape our lives in profound ways.

In our candid conversation, we don’t shy away from the tough topics, from dealing with pregnancy loss and infertility to the challenges of tandem breastfeeding. The importance of self-care, maintaining strong relationships, and building a supportive community are central themes as we share practical tips for traveling with children and navigating the humbling moments of parenthood.
