In this heartfelt episode of The Made to Flourish Podcast, Yasmina takes us on an intimate journey through the birth of her daughter, Ava Joy—born on December 11, weighing 9 pounds 9 ounces. She reflects on the moments leading up to Ava’s arrival, the unexpected twists (including co-host Meg briefly missing the birth!), and the surprisingly peaceful pauses between contractions. Now five weeks postpartum, Yasmina opens up about her recovery—what’s been helping, the supplements she’s using, and the reality of navigating life with a newborn and older children. She shares how self-awareness and leaning on support systems (including a little hired help) have been key in this season of transition. Whether you’re an expecting mom, in the postpartum phase, or simply love hearing real and raw motherhood stories, this episode is for you. Tune in now to The Made to Flourish Podcast—where we celebrate the beauty, challenges, and growth of motherhood together!
