My Positive C-Section Experience, Motherhood Mental Health, and Miscarriages
Loading player...
In this two-part episode, Marisa speaks with counsellor Sharmon Reddington from MumWell about the raw, real, and often unseen sides of pre- and postpartum mental health.
Part 1 was recorded in July, where we talked about my positive C-section experience, early motherhood, and the emotional shifts that come with becoming a mom for the first time.
Five months later, we sat down again to talk about something we both navigated this year - miscarriage, grief, and the silent emotional load so many women carry.
This episode holds space for the complexity of loss: the timing, the physical experience, the mourning of what you imagined, and the confusing in-between stage of “moving forward” when your body hasn’t fully caught up.
Please note: This conversation includes sensitive content around miscarriage and fertility. Our intention is to share personal experiences - not provide medical advice - and to offer honesty, compassion, and connection for anyone walking a similar path.
