Fourth Trimester Voices Podcast
Join Dr. Chowa as she engages with mothers, birth workers, and healthcare professionals to shed light on the challenges and triumphs of the fourth trimester, advocating for better care and support for all.
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.
Your Baby’s Doctor, Your Postpartum Ally
On this episode of Fourth Trimester Voices, I sit down with Dr. Shefali Chheda of Harmony Pediatrics to talk about why your baby’s doctor is also YOUR postpartum ally. As a mother herself, Dr. Chheda shares how her own parenting journey transformed the way she practices medicine.
We explore why a pediatrician should be considered part of a woman’s postpartum village—not just someone who cares for the baby. From informed decision-making to holistic, integrative care, Dr. Chheda’s approach puts families first. She also shares what it means to run a direct primary care practice in Atlanta and how she supports families by seeing newborns at home.
Don’t miss this powerful conversation that reframes pediatric care as a vital part of the postpartum experience.

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.
