In this episode of the Norfolk Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Kathryn Straulbalm from Let Them Latch, an experienced doula and breastfeeding coach, to explore the incredible support available to families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey.

Kathryn shares what a doula does, how doulas support both mothers and their partners, and the many benefits of having continuous emotional, physical, and educational support throughout pregnancy and childbirth. We also dive into the realities of breastfeeding, common challenges new moms face, and how personalized guidance can help build confidence and create a positive feeding experience.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, navigating the postpartum season, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the role of doulas and lactation support, this conversation is filled with practical insights, encouragement, and wisdom.

Join us as we discuss empowering families, building confidence in motherhood, and creating a village of support during one of life's most transformative seasons.

In this episode of the Norfolk Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kailey Buller for a real and refreshing conversation about motherhood, support, and what it truly means to care for yourself while raising little ones.

We dive into her book Surviving Tiny Humans and unpack the realities of early motherhood—the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the deep need for a “village.” Dr. Buller shares practical, honest insights on postpartum care, nurturing your nervous system, and creating rhythms that support both you and your family.

This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to do it all alone, and that taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it’s essential.

Whether you’re a new mom or in the thick of raising your family, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and encouraged.

We’d love to see you in person. Join us May 8th for our Lavender & Love Mother’s Day Gathering at Bonnieheath Lavender Estates + June 5th for Moms Night Out Burn Out Workshop at Riversyde 83 Cafe, details in bio.
