The Silent Postpartum Making Space for What Isn't Talked About After Birth with Dr. Jessica Vernon

What happens when the world stops asking how you’re doing — and only sees the baby?

In this tender and truth-telling episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re joined by holistic OB/GYN Dr. Jessica Vernon who specializes in perinatal mental health to talk about the often invisible realities of life after birth. From postpartum depression and anxiety to rage, numbness, and identity loss — we unpack the emotional terrain many mothers quietly endure.

Together, we explore what it means to truly care for birthing people beyond the delivery room, and how we can shift the postpartum experience from silent suffering to sacred support.

If you or someone you love has ever felt “off” after birth but didn’t have the words — this episode offers both language and liberation.
