Postpartum care NOT as a luxury but as an essential, with Brittany Zeer

There's a massive gap in care for mothers after having a baby. 
Brittany Zeer, creator of Blissful Womb Care joins me in this episode to discuss the importance of supporting postpartum healing as a way to improve the wellness of not just a family, but the community.

She outlines the 5 essentials that every woman should be offered including: Rest, Warmth, Body Care, Nourishment, and Community Support

We also discuss the Rite of Passage a woman goes through when becoming a mother and how often the Rite of Passage is incomplete; missing the integration of a new beginning and new identity. To properly complete this Rite of Passage, we need social recognition and community care, which is generally lacking in our culture. 

“Birth is just a blip in time
Pregnancy is just a blip in time
But postpartum is forever
You’ll never not be postpartum again”
-Brittany Zeer

Brittany reminds us that the postpartum period is forever, not just the 6-12 weeks we are led to believe.  At the time of this recording, I was 18 months postpartum and had the opportunity to experience one of  Brittany's postpartum packages first hand. In this episode, I  debrief my experience including the lessons I learned after processing my birth story with her and  my experience during the Closing of the Bones ceremony. 

Brittany supports women and mothers with Menstrual Cycle and Fertility Awareness, 1-on-1 Pregnancy Support, Prenatal Yoga, and Postpartum Care.
Details on in-person support for those living in the Calgary/Airdrie area can be found here
 

Brittany also has virtual offerings including prenatal yoga and her intimate group container on cycle awareness, called Blissful Cycles

About the Podcast

REWILD + FREE
Stirring good kinda trouble. This is a podcast where conscious entrepreneurship and personal exploration meets decolonization, nervous system healing, and cyclical living
What happens when you stop trying to fit neatly into this world?
When you unbecome everything you were told to be?
When you breathe nuance into a world obsessed with the binary?
When you stop chasing linear success and remember the power of the cyclical, the seasonal—the way we were always meant to be?

This is REWILD + FREE.

Not a blueprint. But an invitation.

To unmask. To unravel. To break free—not just from survival, but from the deep conditioning that keeps us disconnected. From each other. From our bodies. From the earth.

In all facets of life—motherhood, womanhood, conscious business, spirituality.

These are the conversations social media can’t hold space for. The ones that don’t fit into bite-sized posts or neat little soundbites. The messy, layered, deeply human ones. A mix of raw personal musings and soul-stirring interviews with those willing to go beyond the surface.

I’m Nicole Pasveer—mother, truth-seeker, activator. Someone who spent years untangling herself from stories that were never hers to hold. I’ve done the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the fitting into boxes too small for me. I know what it feels like to wake up and realize—this isn’t who I am.

So here we are.

Stirring good kinda trouble.

Having the conversations that matter—healing, liberation, decolonization, reimagining how we live, work, and lead. Not with easy answers, but with big, bold, sometimes impossible-to-answer questions.

Where nuance, reclamation, and reimagination collide

Let’s rewild and remember. Together.
