Whew… what a season it’s been. When I started Raw Mama Talks, I never expected it to grow into the community it has — a space for real, unfiltered conversations about IVF, birth trauma, postpartum, and the unexpected sides of motherhood.

In this season finale, I’m taking a moment to pause and reflect — on what made me start, what I’ve learned from these stories, and how sharing my own journey opened doors for so many other mamas to do the same. I’m also talking about what’s next: a little break before Season 2, but don’t worry — Coffee & Confessions will still be brewing.

If you’ve been here since episode one, or you’re just finding us now — thank you. Your messages, your stories, your support… it’s meant everything. Season 2 is already shaping up to be bigger, deeper, and full of incredible new voices (and maybe a few surprises).

Stay tuned, mama — we’re just getting started.

Welcome to Raw Mama Talks — a motherhood podcast all about overcoming the unexpected. Hosted by Ashley, an IVF mama and birth trauma survivor, this show dives into real, raw stories of pregnancy, recovery, and rediscovering yourself after everything changes. If you’ve ever felt unseen in your motherhood journey, this space is for you.

Not everyone feels that instant movie-moment bond after giving birth — especially when your delivery doesn’t go as planned. In this episode of Raw Mama Talks, I open up about my own journey with bonding after birth trauma, how long it took, and what I’ve learned along the way. We’ll talk about the emotional side of postpartum recovery, the quiet guilt so many moms feel, and how connection can grow in its own time. Whether your experience was unexpected or simply different than you imagined, this one’s a reminder that you’re not alone — and that love doesn’t always show up on a schedule.

Tune in for real, raw, and relatable motherhood stories — the ones we don’t always talk about but so many of us live through.
