Birth Trauma & Postpartum Depression: What Moms Need To Know

Описание: Pregnancy and childbirth are often marketed as magical milestones—beautiful, transformative, and deeply fulfilling. But for many women, the reality is far more complex.

In this episode, Tierra sits down with postpartum advocate and author Casey Keen to discuss her forthcoming memoir, The Alchemy of Motherhood. Casey shares her personal experience with birth trauma, postpartum depression (PPD), and postpartum anxiety (PPA), and explores how cultural narratives, medical systems, and lack of informed consent leave women profoundly unprepared for the physical and psychological realities of childbirth and postpartum recovery.
