Charlotte Bruce-Kells (@phdmamanz) on A Surprise Baby While Studying, Pregnancy and Newborns Through COVID, The Moral Value We Place on Birth, and Motherhood as a Sociological Concept
The best thing about this podcast is that I get to approach people I admire and get them to have a conversation with me, and that is exactly what happened in this situation. I have followed Charlotte Bruce-Kells (aka @phdmamanz) for a good, long while now. Her knowledge and insight on motherhood has always left me looking like the mind-blown emoji, and this time she got to see that reaction in person! I could have spoken to Charlotte all night, but I had to cut it off at 2 hours (which is still one hour longer than we were meant to talk - oops!) But, don't worry, Charlotte and I have become fast friends and I can absolutely see some more PHDMAMANZxWDYPLT content in our future. As I say in this introduction, you're all in luck because we get Charlotte next week too! So this week is the first two answers, and next week is the last three. Big shout out to Viva La Vulva for sponsoring this week's episode! I can highly recommend the perineal power pack, I purchased it before birth with both of my kids and found the products sooooo good. If you use code VIVAMAMA at checkout you will get 20% off any order over $50. THANK YOU, VLV! As mentioned in the introduction, WDYPLT is now on the iHeart Radio Podcast Network! Bloody exciting stuff, to put it lightly! I am so thrilled to be partnering with the iHeart team to help this poddy grow, and the community of listeners to grow! I've written a post on my substack about it, which you can read here if you would like to know more, but the TLDR is: nothing is changing from a listener perspective, other than you will hear some ads throughout the episodes. The change is mainly coming on my end of things, with having a big support system helping me learn, and grow, and get better at the podcasting thaaang. This is a really exciting step forward for the pod, and I see great things coming down the pipeline. As usual, pls do all the things, like, share, subscribe, rate, review, and follow me on social media! instagram, tiktok, and substack! If you have a story that you believe would be good for the pod, send me an email with a brief overview of your journey!
