Traumatic Birth Stories, Part 1: Medical Missteps and Motherhood’s Mayhem

In this emotionally charged two-part series, we dive deep into the raw and often overlooked reality of traumatic birth experiences. In Part One, Sammi, Kyle, and Ashley share listener-submitted stories that shine a light on the heartbreak, resilience, and chaos that can come with bringing life into the world.


We hear from Erin, whose undiagnosed HELLP syndrome nearly ended in tragedy; from Holly, who was dismissed by doctors until it was almost too late; and from D, whose unexpected fourth child arrived amidst confusion, heartbreak, and a life-changing decision.


With Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, and Reese’s Pieces in the bowl, this episode balances heaviness with heartfelt reflection, laughter with empathy, and sugar with truth.


If you’ve ever felt unseen or unheard in your birth experience—or know someone who has—this episode is a must-listen.


🎧 Trigger warning for medical trauma, NICU stays, and emergency childbirth.
