The Richness of Women's Health

Cocoa Pods

Discover the unspoken journeys of womanhood as we unravel the complexities of women's health and relationships. From the silent battles with pelvic pain to the profound transformations during pregnancy, we promise an episode that speaks to the resilience and diversity of the female experience. Our heartfelt conversations shed light on the real-life stories of teens grappling with dating violence and couples striving for growth in therapy. As we celebrate our 100th episode, join us in appreciating the remarkable physical changes women embrace in pregnancy, and dive into the empowering narratives of market women in Lagos and the impact of Nollywood on societal perceptions.
In a rich tapestry of cultural traditions, we navigate through the art of baby carrying and the reverence of the wrapper in various societies, including the Yoruba people. The concept of lotus birth, where the umbilical cord remains uncut, opens a window into the myriad of childbirth practices that shape our understanding of parenting. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the confidence required to care for a newborn, the intricate disparities in birth experiences across continents, and the heartening stories of strength in the face of systemic inequalities. With our distinguished guests, this episode is a promise of enlightenment on the enduring spirit of women and the profound influence of cultural heritage on the sacred journey of childbirth and early parenting.
