After a short hiatus, Katie back with a deeply personal and raw solo episode to close out Season 2 of Stress Mess.
In this episode, we unpack what happened when life took an unexpected—and very real—turn: an unplanned early induction, a whirlwind of medical decisions, and ultimately, the birth of baby Eleanor via C-section.
From navigating the stress of medical uncertainty to confronting internal narratives around perfectionism, natural birth, and societal expectations, this episode is a heartfelt reflection on what it means to stay grounded in your values when everything is in flux.
You'll hear how past podcast conversations with guests like Kelsey, Lisa, and Clinician Kate echoed in real-time during this transformative experience, and how connection, informed choice, and being truly seen made all the difference.
Topics covered:
Season 3 launches Monday, July 7th with even more expert voices, stories, and tools on stress, trauma, and healing. Until then, take care, and remember: you're doing f***ing amazing. 💛 Follow along on IG @katieostresscoaching for more!
