    The Birth I Pictured, the C-Section I Got, the Mother I Became
    Apr 29 2026

    Most birth plans don't happen the way they're written. In our first episode, Camille, host of The Kind of Bold podcast and one of Erin's first doula clients, shares her unplanned C-section, including the moment in the OR when she had to choose between holding her son or seeing him, and the postpartum anxiety she lived with for years before it had a name. We talk about matrescence, the love-and-grief paradox of becoming a mother, the failure of postpartum care to screen the birthing person for mental health, and the kind of postpartum support that should be standard everywhere. If your birth didn't go the way you pictured, or if you've ever felt like you lost yourself in motherhood, this one's for you.
