Are you an expecting or new mom? Then this edition of "The Mom Manual," is going to be incredibly valuable for you.

I had the opportunity to speak with Danielle Smith, RN BSN, who is a Postpartum Doula and mom of two, about "Setting Strong Boundaries As A New Mom."

In this brief 20-minute interview, Danielle and I talk about how new and postpartum moms can give themselves permission to create and implement better boundaries. In particular, we discuss:

The gap in physical, mental and emotional health care for postpartum women

• Why boundaries are so difficult to set as women and mothers

• Why you may want to remain flexible in drawing boundaries until after your baby is born

• How to communicate expectations and boundaries to your partner or support person

• Why giving context can help communicate your boundaries more effectively

• Aiming to set work-life boundaries immediately after returning to work from Maternity Leave

• And so much more!
