In this episode of Growing I sit down with Dr. Renee White, biochemist, mum and doula. Renee provides so much practical advice for parents preparing for parenthood including strategies for implementing support, tips on how to create respectful boundaries and how to genuinely take care of yourself in motherhood. Renee combines her qualification and experience of working as a biochemist to provide research-informed support and advice to new parents. I absolutely LOVED this chat and know that you will too.  Renee is the founder of Australia's first biochemist-led doula village where she and her team provide high quality continuity of care for parents journeying through pregnancy and postpartum. You can learn more about their services at www.ifillyourcup.com and on Instagram @fillyourcup_  Resource links: The Science of Motherhood Podcast with Dr. Renee White Insight Timer - Free Meditation App Grab 'The Quickie' - Renee’s Go-To Guide for The Fourth Trimester Are you preparing to give birth?  If you want to feel excited and empowered for birth (leave the nerves behind!) my online birth preparation course is the PERFECT fit.
