This week, Bianca Sprague joins us for a powerful conversation about motherhood that will challenge your perspective. Bianca shares the transformative journey of her early days of motherhood through undiagnosed postpartum depression in an unsafe domestic setting. Bianca candidly reflects on her initial struggles to bond with her daughter amidst feelings of rage and shame. We explore the raw emotions of early motherhood, the pressure to be a "good mom," and the societal structures that leave mothers feeling unsupported and unseen. We delve into Bianca's pivotal decision to pursue doula training as a means of protecting birth and finding the support she lacked. Through her work in reproductive health and justice, Bianca has found her purpose and created a global reproductive health movement spanning 49 countries. We also explore the distinction between the work of motherhood and the relationship of motherhood, as well as the unique challenges faced by queer parents. Bianca's insights urge us to foster understanding as “We can get way more done in our sameness.” Bianca also shares actionable tips for busy moms to find community and rediscover their identities beyond motherhood. Get ready to be inspired and reminded that you're not alone in this journey.

About Bianca:
Bianca Sprague is a passionate educator and advocate in the doula community, focusing her expertise on supporting women and queer individuals in the fields of fertility, birth, and postpartum care. As a self- identified ‘super lesbian’ and a dedicated mother, Bianca brings a unique perspective to her work, emphasizing the importance of balancing professional doula responsibilities with personal life, especially for mothers. She is deeply committed to addressing issues like queer care, combating fatphobia in medicine, and exploring women’s rage and its implications. Bianca’s journey into this field was born from personal challenges; as a new parent grappling with postpartum depression and limited support and resources, she turned to doula training to transform her life. This path led her to create bebo mia, a response to the gap she experienced in her initial training and lacked massive amounts of critical content as well as practical business guidance for doulas. Bianca’s mission extends beyond doula care to teaching effective service business management, encompassing community building, client care, and efficient systems for working parents in the healthcare sector.
