Postnatal Talks Hosted by Winnie Irangabiye
Postnatal Talk Series is a safe and authentic space dedicated to conversations about life after childbirth. Hosted by Winnie Irangabiye, founder of Post-Natal Kindness, the series highlights the realities of the post-natal period through personal stories, expert guidance and meaningful conversations.
In this episode, Our Founder Winnie Irangabiye speaks with Samantha Odion, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist specialized in Perinatal mental health Samantha explains how pregnancy, childbirth and the transition into motherhood can affect a mother’s emotional well-being—even when the baby is healthy and the birth is considered successful. Together, they discuss birth trauma, baby blues, perinatal mental health warning signs, matrescence and the pressure mothers may feel to quickly “bounce back” after childbirth. They also explore the realities of Black maternal mental health, the importance of self-advocacy and how families can offer meaningful practical and emotional support during the post-natal season.
If this conversation helps you or someone you know, we invite you to share it with a mother, family or loved one who may need it. Subscribe to Post-Natal Kindness and turn on notifications for more conversations about motherhood, the post-natal journey and the support mothers need after childbirth.
