Are you terrified of childbirth? Has most of your knowledge about labor and delivery come from movies or TV? Today I am joined by Carson Meyer, an expert doula and the founder of the clean skincare line C & The Moon. Carson became a doula after combining her passions - living a clean lifestyle and her desire to promote positive birth experiences. Carson and I discuss how doulas assist in the birthing process, what to start doing if you're trying to get pregnant, and self-care tips for being present after birth. She shares gifts your postpartum friends actually need and how she turned her love for a non-toxic lifestyle into a cult favorite skincare line.   Summer Fridays NEW ShadeDrops SPF is available now at SummerFridays.com and Sephora   Follow Marianna: @marianna_hewitt Follow Carson: @ccmeyer   This week’s episode is sponsored by:   Ouai: 15% of your entire order when you use code MARIANNA15 at theouai.com    Leprix: Find the perfect pre-owned designer bag at leprix.com or for small businesses head to wholesale.leprix.com   Macy’s: Shop your summer must-haves at macys.com/personalstylist    Produced by Dear Media
