Reclaiming Your Body: Mommy Makeovers Uncovered with Dr. Familusi, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Postpartum isn’t just emotional—it’s physical. And for many moms, the journey back to feeling like themselves includes considering a Mommy Makeover.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Olatomide Familusi, founder of Eleve Plastic Surgery, who pulls back the curtain on what Mommy Makeovers really involve. We talk body image, confidence, the most common procedures, and how surgery can be a powerful tool for healing—not vanity.

Dr. Familusi shares why she’s passionate about helping moms feel amazing after childbirth, and how she’s redefining what it means to take care of yourself post-baby.

This is the conversation every mom deserves to hear—judgment-free, empowering, and deeply real.

Share this with a mama who deserves to feel good in her body again.

From Surviving to Serving: My Postpartum Story Through Loss and Life

This isn’t just a story about motherhood—it’s about survival.

I’ve walked through the postpartum season three times. Two ended in heartbreaking loss. One brought new life.

Each experience shaped me. Each one showed me how broken our system is when it comes to supporting women—especially after loss.

In this episode, I’m sharing my truth: the physical pain, the emotional toll, and how those moments of grief and recovery led me to create a space where no mother has to suffer alone.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your healing—this one’s for you.

Tune in, share with a friend, and let’s break the silence around postpartum and pregnancy loss.
