About The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast
Birth trauma is the dark and sometimes scary side of pregnancy & postpartum that no one wants to talk about. But, we're here to change that! I'm Kayleigh, a licensed therapist and birth trauma survivor, determined to bring birth trauma out of the shadows and into the light. When we talk about birth trauma, we take away its power and leave space for healing. Your birth trauma does not need to “happen for a reason." Birth trauma sucks and it’s okay to admit that. Join us as we navigate what it means to heal from birth trauma. You’ll hear from experts in the field as well as others who have experienced birth trauma. Storytelling and education are keys to raising awareness and better understanding how we heal trauma. We don’t do toxic positivity in this space, but you’ll definitely hear some dark humor. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry, but, most importantly, you’ll learn that you’re not alone and that healing is possible. Birth trauma is bullish*it, but your healing is not.

[…] Yes. And I'm listening to these stories and I genuinely, I remember just like crying, but also feeling not alone. And I'm so thankful that you have given a platform like this because there are not, talking about our trauma is not something, it's not a platform that's really out there as much. I feel like my sister even encouraged me being the nurse, you know, she's like, you got to tell your story if you feel comfortable. And I was like, you know what I do? Because the end of the day, another part of sharing your story, which I think is helpful is when you have a baby, no one's really asking like, how was your delivery did anything happen are you okay they just are excited about your baby and it's one of those things too where i'm always like the husbands don't forget to check on your other husband friends or your your male friends because they also went could have gone through trauma um And that's something that I own.
