## Resource

Eating placenta is a postpartum tradition in many cultures around the world. A young woman's first period is celebrated with ritual. Postpartum healing is supported by the community. What time-tested traditions related to all of the above are we overlooking in our modern age? How can we embrace them once again? Eyla Cuenca is a childbirth educator and doula with over a decade of experience supporting women through the transformational threshold of birth and postpartum. Today, she sheds light on how women were supported traditionally through childbirth and postpartum. She gets specific about how to avoid interventions during labor, how to celebrate our daughters' maturation process, and how to approach a vaginal birth after a cesarean. She brings us back to the body's innate intelligence, our personal sovereignty, and deepest inner knowing.
