The Lindsay Clancy case has us thinking about the Traditional Chinese Medicine concept of Essence- what depletes it, what replenishes it, and how it is impacted by modern life and motherhood. We talk about how closely spaced births, inadequate postpartum recovery, illness, and chronic overextension can deplete these reserves- and how nourishment, rest, hydration, and mindful use of our energy can help restore them. We also explore the importance of community and finding a sustainable balance between giving and receiving, depletion and replenishment. Ultimately, this conversation asks what might change if women treated conserving and replenishing their vitality as essential to lifelong health.
