05. Chloe Girot - Birth Center Turned Hospital Birth, Doula and Single Mama, Postpartum Pelvic Pain, & Advocating for Access to Universal Postpartum Support

So sad about the awful audio in this episode (mostly on my end) because it's SUCH a great conversation full of relatable nuggets. In this convo, single mama, birth doula, and future midwife Chloe Girot shares so authentically about her unconventional transition into motherhood after the birth of her son, Jack. Every minute of this chat was pure gold and so much of what she shares resonates with me and my own experience with motherhood. Chloe's dream for adequate, universal postpartum support is one she and I both share and I so badly wish someday it will come to fruition.
