Leesha’s story is one of birth anxiety, medical trauma and the long road back to herself.
At 35 weeks she was diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms, followed by a traumatic birth and postpartum pre‑eclampsia that sent her back to hospital just days after giving birth.
What followed were two years of postpartum anxiety, fear, hypervigilance and the emotional fallout of surviving something she never saw coming.
Today, Leesha is grounded, intuitive and anxiety‑free — and she’s sharing her story so other mums can recognise the signs sooner and trust themselves sooner.
A powerful, honest and deeply important conversation.

This episode discusses medical trauma, pulmonary embolisms, postpartum pre‑eclampsia, birth trauma and postpartum anxiety.

Leesha’s views and experiences are her own and do not represent medical advice.

Twin motherhood doesn’t just stretch you — it can completely undo you.

In this episode, Danni Whiley opens up about her twin pregnancy, the births, the postpartum crash, and the long, slow rebuild that followed.

With raw honesty and zero sugar‑coating, Danni shares what it felt like to lose herself in the chaos, the mental load, the exhaustion, and the identity shift that hit harder than she ever expected. She talks about the moments she broke, and the tiny steps that slowly brought her back to solid ground.

This is a story of survival, softness, strength, and the quiet kind of resilience that grows in the dark. It’s about rebuilding from the inside out. Not quickly, not neatly, but truthfully.

Danni came out on top not because it was easy, but because she kept climbing.
