Ep. 61 A Glitter Baby Is Born - a podcast by Christina Barnes and Juli Sorg
from 2021-03-01T09:00
Happy Monday Glitter Gang!
Your Glitter Girls are going to be talking about Juli's birthing experience, Postpartum, and everything that happens to your body after giving birth. It's intimate, it's vulnerable, it's Juli's story and she's putting it all out there. Talking through her feelings with Christina really helped her come to terms with this monumental life change and she hopes it will help other women as well.
Every woman's journey is different but there's one commonality... talking through things with a therapist or friend can make a huge difference in your mental health.
