Today's guest is McLean McGown.We go deep talking about the support new mothers and fathers need, how to get that support, what a mother goes through before, during, and after birth, how dads can support their partners, how dads can get the support they need, the importance of the first 40 days, pregnancy and birth as spirituality, and embodiment practices to keep you grounded.McLean is a Motherhood Coach, Podcaster, Prenatal & Postnatal Healing Expert, Postpartum Doula, Nutritionist, Hypnotherapist, Pilates, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Lactation Educator Counselor, Death Doula, Reiki Practitioner, wife and Mother of two daughters living in Los Angeles. After the birth of her first daughter, McLean quickly realized that there was a great need for women to be supported on a deeper level, not only through pregnancy and birth but especially during the Postpartum shift. Through her own Postpartum journey with little support, she made it her mission to show up for other women as the kind of loving support that she wished she’d had. Becoming a Postpartum doula has led her to her truest passion- Coaching and educating women as they transition from Maiden to Mother and beyond. She loves supporting the mother of course, but also the father or other Parent as well. Holding the entire family in a cohesive, healthy and healing container helps everyone land into their new role. It helps to establish effective ways of communicating and realistic expectations. You can work with McLean via her 1:1 Coaching Programs or her monthly group MomClub Membership.McLean views the journey of conception through to postpartum as different points on one continuum. It is this holistic approach that helps women embrace all the parts of their journey with clear vision, strength and grace. She thanks her highest gurus- her daughters Jemima and Goldy Wolf for leading her onto this path and helping her to find her true Self. It takes a village to raise a mother, not just a child.Find McLean online at:IG: @motherthemotherCoaching: [email protected] Club: https://www.patreon.com/mcleanmcgownPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mother-the-mother/id1455408650Web: https://linktr.ee/motherthemother---Welcome to the Dad.Work Podcast!It's my goal every episode to help dads suffer less, love more, and parent confidently.We'll be diving into mindfulness practices, healing trauma, conscious parenting, natural living, compassionate communication, the spiritual aspect of fatherhood, and more.There are a lot of amazing teachers and guides who help men become more aware and conscious, but there's not a lot of resources for men who are both fathers and interested in a mindful exploration of consciousness and improvement.This podcast aims to help bridge that gap.Resources, Links, Show Notes:https://dad.work/pod/Join our Free Private FB Community for Conscious Fathers:https://dad.work/fb/Take The Course to Become A Conscious Father and Suffer Less, Love More, and Parent Confidently:https://dad.work/cf/
