Heng Ou on Why Moms Need Postpartum Healing

In this first episode of Season 8 of The Motherly Podcast, Liz speaks with Heng Ou, the author of the book The First 40 Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother and the founder of Motherbees, which is a food and lifestyle company that supports women through every stage of motherhood. Liz talks to Heng about the important 40-day healing period after a mother gives birth, a practice which has been cultivated around the world since ancient times, but has been lost in our modern Western society.
