015: The Education on Sex, Birth, and Parenthood We Need with Sumer Jimenez
We're back with a full conversation with the ever-wise and hilarious Sumer Jimenez, a mother of 4, doula, Reiki practitioner, perinatal yoga instructor, and placenta encapsulation specialist. There are SO many mic-drops, laughs, and pearls of wisdom that you will glean from listening to Sumer and Brittney while they work through some of the trials we face as women, partners, and parents - and how solving those issues begins with educating ourselves so that we can empower others that walk the same path.
