In this episode, we’re having a really important conversation about something many moms experience but don’t always have the space to talk about openly - birth trauma and the NICU experience.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be “over it” but still carry the weight of your birth or NICU experience, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist Kanjana Hartshorne to talk about:

·       What birth trauma actually is (and why it’s not just about medical emergencies)

·       The emotional weight of the NICU experience

·       How trauma lives in the nervous system long after discharge

·       Guilt, numbness, hypervigilance, and “I should be over this” thoughts

·       Why talk therapy alone isn’t always enough

·       What somatic healing means in real life

·       Simple body-based tools moms can try today

·       Signs it might be time for deeper healing

Kanjana Hartshorne, LCSW, C-IAYT, CCFP, Reiki Master, is the founder of Healing Hearts Wellness, a holistic therapy practice integrating somatic and yoga therapy, EMDR, IFS, creative arts, and spiritual practices.
