The One With The Birth Trauma
Struggling after birth and wondering if you’re alone? You’re not. In this raw and honest birth trauma story, I share my experience with preeclampsia, an emergency C-section, NICU days, postpartum depression, anxiety, and the long road to healing. Five years later, I’m finally reclaiming my health and using my Big Sister IRL platform on TikTok to connect with moms who need support, validation, and real talk about maternal mental health. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not loving your birth story—or heard the words, “But your baby is healthy”—this blog post is for you.
I Didn’t Just Start Making Art— I Started Looking for Her
The point of Big Sister IRL is simple:
To be the voice I needed when I felt alone.
To remind you that you are not broken.
To hold space for your healing, your humor, and your humanity.
Whether you’re here for maternal mental health advocacy, relatable big sister advice, or just to feel a little less alone in the mess of life—I’m glad you’re here.
Welcome to Big Sister IRL.
