CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of Mental Health and Graphic Medical Procedures
In this raw and powerful episode of Unprepared, Sahar and Rachel sit down with Hannah, a doula with a story that reshapes everything we think we know about birth, trauma, and postpartum mental health.
The girls leave no subject on the table and Hannah shares her own harrowing birth experience—from a prolapsed umbilical cord emergency to a NICU stay, and ultimately, a postpartum psychosis diagnosis that changed her life. This isn’t just a birth story—it’s a lifeline for anyone who’s felt unprepared, isolated, or shamed by their postpartum experience.
