Imagine if that very instinct could be the beacon during your journey to motherhood. Today, we sit with Kelli Moore, a mother whose experiences with IVF, birth, and postpartum challenges, illuminate the incredible intuition that comes with motherhood and the indomitable spirit required to advocate for one's health. Through Kelli's eyes, we witness the intensity of labor, the complications from past medical procedures, and her undying trust in her own body's messages—lessons that resonate with every listener. The path to bringing new life into this world is often shrouded in silence, especially when it comes to the struggles of infertility and extended labor. Kelli sheds light on these seldom-discussed topics, sharing the raw emotional toll it took on her personal relationships and the support that pulled her through. As she speaks on the importance of therapies, holistic health practices, and the power of honest dialogue, her insights underscore the need for empathy and comprehensive care. Postpartum isn't just about recovery; it's about transformation. Kelli's story doesn't shy away from the emotional and physical aftermath of a taxing birth, the questioning of increasing C-section rates, and the necessary advocacy for informed childbirth choices. In our heart-to-heart, we also recognize the significance of showing up for one another, especially in those vulnerable moments after bringing life into the world. From the vital need for maternity leave to strategies for maintaining mental health, we celebrate the resilience and personal growth that motherhood fosters, while underscoring the beauty of community and shared experiences.
