The Modern Day Tribe Podcast: Recent Episodes
Sarah Bednar
On The Modern Day Tribe Podcast you will hear from birth and postpartum professionals that specialize in different aspects of birth and postpartum support for families. You'll also hear birth and postpartum stories from real moms and dads. These stories will give you insight on birth and postpartum, show different perspectives on how these parents experienced this time period and offer tips and recommendations that worked for these families. I'm your host Sarah Bednar. I'm a postpartum doula and founder of The Modern Day Tribe. My passion is why I started this project to create a platform for parents and professionals to share their stories and support for other parents. Along with my training as a parent coach, postpartum doula, I too have personal experience as a parent of three kids. You'll find that you aren't alone in this journey into parenthood. By hearing from other parents and professionals in this field you will have the confidence in your families' decisions with the evidence-based and real information I share on The Modern Day Tribe Podcast.

Father's Day was this past Sunday, so in the spirit of celebrating Dads, I'm talking about how Dads can be supportive after their baby is born. Some of the questions I answer in this episode about Dads' postpartum supporting role are:
How do dads bond with baby?
When do dads step in or step up when caring for mom and baby?
How do dads continue taking care of themselves during this sleepless busy time?
How do dads advocate for their families?
These questions and more are answered in this week's episode.
Thanks for listening!

You will love this beautiful story of the strength of a mom getting through two very different births of her babies. Mufyn Lynn's story will give you insight on how heroic the births of our babies can be and how different our other births can turn out despite the history of a mom's previous births.
