#34 Time is Fake. Cycles and Rhythms in the Childbearing Year

We live in such a time based culture. We need numbers to validate everything. We need to "know" when babies are going to be born, when they need to nap, when we are allowed to eat our next meal. But what if this is all fake? Can we throw away the clock and just listen to the flow of our bodies? Lean in to the movements of the sun, of the seasons, of our baby's subtle (or not so subtle) communications.

This reliance on clocks, dates, time, and numbers has such a profound impact on our birthing culture! When is your due date? How much does that matter? What is it calculated based on? How many weeks are you? How many hours does your baby sleep in a row? How often are you breastfeeding? 

I'd like to think that I pose more questions than I answer in this episode a I deconstruct time.

Join me in my time free experiment I mention near the end! Let me know how it feels!
