Trigger warning: This episode discusses birth trauma, miscarriage, and the emotional impact of pregnancy after loss. Please listen with care and in a safe space.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced a pregnancy loss, is coping with birth trauma recovery, or is currently expecting while carrying the emotional weight of a previous experience.

Ilena also shares a valuable YouTube resource on nervous system regulation, which can help listeners better understand the connection between trauma and the body. You can watch it here and follow Ilena’s work and support offerings on Instagram @ilenastanding.
