🎙 NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Healing Beyond the Scar 🤍
This week on Mama Uprooted, I sat down with Janelle Fontaine from Nurturing the Mother to have one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve had around postpartum healing, C-sections, scar recovery, nervous system support, and the care moms truly deserve after birth.
As a mom who has had two C-sections myself, this conversation felt deeply personal.
Because so many women are told:
“Your incision looks fine.”
“Your six week checkup is over.”
“You’re healed.”
…but what about the numbness?
The pulling?
The disconnection from your body?
The emotional healing?
The years later symptoms moms are silently carrying?
Janelle shares how cesarean recovery goes far beyond the scar itself and why postpartum healing deserves more support, education, and compassion.
This episode is for every mama who has ever wondered:
“Is what I’m experiencing normal?”
And honestly… whether your birth was six weeks ago or sixteen years ago — this conversation matters.
