Episode notes

We’re taking a pause to lose ourselves down the rabbit hole of time. Because something strange happens to time in those first weeks of a baby's arrival. The rest of the world still seems to, mostly, rise with the sun, and sleep with the dark - but the world of a new parent has turned on its head. So what would happen if we looked at time in a totally different way? In this episode India explores the relatively new concept (but ancient experience of) Maialogical time with historian Joanna Wolfarth, talk about the impact of the first few months with Perinatal psychiatrist Trudi Seneviratne and talks to musician and mother Eske Mtungwazi about her experience in the world of Neonatal care.
