Today’s show focuses on how Black birthing people and mothers might experience trauma in the healthcare system that impacts them during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. There is great complexity in the emotions that people feel during the transition to parenthood, and today’s guest is dedicated to providing support, resources, and healing. Join us to learn more! I’m joined by Chetina Guadalupe, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, consultant, and the owner/creator of Always Live Lovely. In her work, she provides support through individual and couples therapy, music, a podcast, and speaking engagements. She is passionate about breaking the stigma and equipping people with tools for deeper understanding that leads to their healing.
