022 | Postpartum Identity shifts, matrescence, motherhood and self-discovery with Ali Heppell

In today’s episode I’m joined by Ali Heppell - postpartum doula, matrescence educator and women's circle facilitator - for a deeply honest conversation about the emotional transformation of motherhood. We explore how the experience of matrescence shifts your identity, the power of postpartum support and why so many mothers feel lost in the early years. Ali shares her own story of navigating motherhood and how this has shaped the work she does today supporting mothers in their postpartum journey. Whether you are pregnant, preparing for motherhood or in the midst of postpartum, if you’re searching for meaning and support on this path, this conversation is for you.Topics we cover: Ali’s personal story of transitioning from speech pathologist to guide for mothers, sparked by her own motherhood experience and the identity shifts that came with it. What matrescence really is (and why it matters)What a postpartum doula is and what support they can provideThe healing power of women’s circles and communityThe importance of birth debriefing and the healing process of sharing your birth experienceThe beauty and simplicity of incorporating ritual and ceremony into your life If you would like to connect with Ali you can…Find Ali on Instagram @aliheppell_mothercareFind out more Ali’s beautiful offerings and working with Ali HEREFind out more about the 'Move into you' somatic journey HERE   If you would like to connect with Alice you can…Find Alice on Instagram ⁠@align.with.alice⁠Find out more about working with Alice ⁠HERE⁠ Start your Human Design journey with a 1:1 or Mother:Child reading ⁠HERE. ⁠Subscribe to the Align with Alice Substack ⁠HERE ⁠Listen to my free guided meditation 'LOVE' ⁠HERE⁠
