Monica Yates
About this episode

Let’s just say that today’s conversation with Millie Poppins, a Motherhood Mentor & Baby Care Expert with over ten years of experience, is one you’ll want to definitely take notes on & then immediately send the link to your man because he NEEDS to be in on this too!! We’re talking about preparing for babies, caring for babies — and how we can truly THRIVE through becoming parents instead of just merely surviving. 🫶🏻

Whether you’re a new mother, a mother-to-be, or are planning on becoming a mother one day in the future (especially if you’re a working mother or plan to be)…this is a must-listen for you!

There is sooo much beautiful wisdom and advice that Millie and Monica unpack together around:

🌹 the biggest challenges & myths of postpartum and new motherhood

🌹 how to set yourself up for the most beautiful postpartum period

🌹 things men can also do to prepare themselves before baby comes/before conception even

🌹 why birth prep is for men AND women, and fertility is just as much a man’s responsibility

🌹 a bit on how Monica and her fiancé are preparing *now* for future babies

🌹 healthy choices you can make to start improving your health slowly over time

🌹 what a “day in the life” of a nanny looks like & how she supports the mother/family

🌹 basic tips for new mothers or mothers-to-be to help juggle work & motherhood

🌹 ways to care for a new mother that might not be what you think

🌹 the biggest myths you’ve helped women debunk around motherhood🌹 the necessities women need to align in their life before conception if possible
