Show Notes
What happens when your body doesn’t follow the “standard script” for birth? In this episode of the Mamatoosa podcast, Atoosa sits down with Pessa, whose birth stories are anything but ordinary.
From an unexpected C-section in New York to a miraculous VBAC in Los Angeles, and ultimately to multiple breech births, Pessa shares the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hard-earned wisdom of her journey. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to advocate for yourself in the birth space, or how women navigate fear, faith, and fierce determination in the delivery room, this powerful conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
Join us every Tuesday morning to hear conversations about womanhood, motherhood, and birthwork.
