Ep. 60 Medical Trauma, Fear, and Restoration

Trauma
Written By Grace Rayco

In this episode, Midon sits down with Xiomara to talk about how she went from being a young mom just "doing what she was told" to a researcher fighting for her own voice.

Xiomara gets real about the "lost years" of severe postpartum depression after her first baby and the heartbreak of her second pregnancy, which started with a dream for a home birth but ended in a traumatic C-section after she was told she had "no options whatsoever" for her breech baby.
