Fourth Trimester Voices
Fourth Trimester Voices delves into the crucial yet often overlooked fourth trimester, the 12 weeks following childbirth. Whether you’re a new parent navigating the early weeks of your baby’s life, a seasoned caregiver, or simply curious about the postpartum journey, this podcast provides valuable information and heartfelt stories to support and inspire you. Our focus is on the mother and her recovery.
The Silent Heart Failure Every New Mom Must Know
In this episode, I break down what postpartum cardiomyopathy is, why it happens after pregnancy, the early warning signs most women miss, the connection between preeclampsia and long-term heart disease, and what YOU need to do if you were diagnosed with high blood pressure during pregnancy
Too often, we are told that once the baby is delivered, everything is fine. That is not true.
The postpartum period is one of the most dangerous times for a mother’s health.
If you experience shortness of breath, severe fatigue, swelling, difficulty laying flat, or anxiety when trying to sleep, you need to seek medical care immediately.
This is why I created my course “What to Expect Next: Your Fourth Trimester Blueprint.” This course walks you through exactly how to prepare for postpartum, recognize warning signs early, and advocate for your health.

Planning Isn’t Control. It’s Capacity.
You did everything right and still had complications! Does it mean that planning is futile? This episode explains why postpartum planning is not about control, but about capacity and protection when things go wrong.
