About this listen
Postpartum is often framed as a personal struggle — but what if it’s actually a system failure?
In this episode, I talk about why postpartum feels so overwhelming even when moms are doing everything right. From the lack of medical follow-up to disappearing support and unrealistic expectations, this conversation reframes postpartum as a failure of systems — not of mothers.
This episode is for anyone who felt abandoned, unseen, or unsupported after having a baby.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why postpartum care drops off after six weeks
• What happens when depression screenings go nowhere
• Why support disappears after birth
• How moms internalize struggle as personal failure
