  • The Silent Heart Failure Every New Mom Must Know
    Apr 1 2026

    In this episode, I break down:


    ✔ What postpartum cardiomyopathy is
    ✔ Why it happens after pregnancy
    ✔ The early warning signs most women miss
    ✔ The connection between preeclampsia and long-term heart disease
    ✔ What YOU need to do if you were diagnosed with high blood pressure during pregnancy

    Too often, we are told that once the baby is delivered, everything is fine.

    That is not true.

    The postpartum period is one of the most dangerous times for a mother’s health.

    🚨 If you experience:
    • Shortness of breath
    • Severe fatigue
    • Swelling
    • Difficulty laying flat
    • Anxiety when trying to sleep

    You need to seek medical care immediately.

    This is why I created my course:

    👉 “What to Expect Next: Your Fourth Trimester Blueprint”
    This course walks you through exactly how to prepare for postpartum, recognize warning signs early, and advocate for your health.
