The Fearless Birth Podcast

Birth Trauma: Navigating the Emotional Aftermath
Birth trauma is far more common than we talk about, affecting over 45% of women, whether or not the birth itself went to plan. In this episode, we explore what birth trauma can look like, why it often stems from feeling unheard or losing control, and practical ways to begin healing, from therapy and support groups to self-compassion, mindfulness and journaling. A reminder that these feelings are valid, healing takes time, and you are not alone.

From Maiden to Mother

A beautiful, emotional listen for anyone standing at the edge of this transformation.
