*Trigger Warning: Birth Trauma, Miscarriage*

In today's episode, I sit down with Kayleigh Summers from @thebirthtrauma_mama, and we get deep into all things birth trauma. She shares her personal experience and birth story and the trauma she faced while bringing her child into the world. Birth can be empowering and beautiful but also traumatic and scary. If you have experienced birth trauma, I hope this episode helps you feel seen and validated in your experience. Your feelings surrounding your birth are valid and real. It is perfectly okay to feel disappointed or to grieve. We also talk about partner birth trauma, navigating your marriage after this type of trauma, and how to handle future pregnancies or the "guilt" of not wanting to do this a second time or psychically being unable to.
