Show notes:

New podcast launch

Release date TBD

Episode transcription: Hi Friends!

This is Ash Luna the founder and photographer of 4th Trimester Bodies Project.

Some of you joined me with my previous podcast, Babes with the Power, and after a long hiatus we’ve decided to switch gears and relaunch with a new podcast focused on all things 4th Trimester and I’m excited to tell you that that podcast will be launching very soon.

Join us for what we hope will be weekly episodes including conversations with parents and postpartum people, Follow up Interviews with 4th Trimester Bodies Project Participants, and explorations into the intersections of politics, parenting, and our relationship with our bodies.

We don’t have an exact launch date just yet but please subscribe and share and we look forward to catching up with you very soon.

As always, I hope you came for the pretty pictures and stay for the movement.
