124. Postpartum Recovery Beyond the Physical: Trauma, Identity, and Support with Jessica Brousseau

Postpartum recovery isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal. In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Brousseau to talk about the stark contrast between two very different postpartum experiences: one marked by trauma, isolation, and silent struggle, and another supported by comprehensive care, openness, and healing. We discuss the weight of postpartum mental health screenings, the pressure many mothers feel to “be fine,” and the critical role providers play in recognizing and supporting maternal mental health. This conversation is about resilience, accepting help, and learning to embrace the new version of yourself that motherhood brings.
