Reborn into Motherhood
The transition into motherhood is one that can only be described as being reborn. There is so much that changes for us mentally, emotionally and physically and every mother's experience is different. Join me, Cynthia Vackar, as I talk to different mamas from all walks of life about their journey into motherhood and beyond.

Ep. 31 Healing after birth: Jamie's Journey through prenatal trauma and postpartum PTSD
In today's episode, Jamie, a mama of one, shares with us how her transition into motherhood was one that was nothing like she envisioned with medical complications. From the very beginning of her pregnancy, Jamie experienced continuous cardiac episodes that left her unable to do many day-to-day things and led to her developing postpartum PTSD. As a mental health therapist herself, she started noticing she was experiencing very similar symptoms to PTSD, even though her doctors were treating her for postpartum depression. She found herself having to really advocate for herself and finally found a therapist that truly understood what she was going through, helping her to finally get an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Throughout her healing journey she found different ways to help her move forward like breath work, exercise and a mama community. She is now three years postpartum and has been able to live a healthy and happy life.
