Building Resilience When the World Feels Like a Poly Crisis

In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I'm joined by perinatal care specialist and Resilience Toolkit facilitator Mikaela Lynn for a grounded conversation about stress, nervous system regulation, and what it means to build resilience in the perinatal year.

Together, we explore why stress isolates us from our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of choice, and why resilience is not about pushing through but about strengthening flexibility and restoring connection. Mikaela shares a practical framework for self-assessment, how to find pockets of relative safety in a time of systemic stress, and why stabilization is the priority during pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.

This episode is for parents navigating this turbulent time, for anyone recovering from birth trauma, and for perinatal professionals who want to support others without abandoning their own nervous systems.
