In this deeply moving episode of Healing After Birth, hosts Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo and Marcia Cole sit down with Danya Gilliard to unpack the complexities of motherhood, healing, and resilience. From navigating pregnancy as a single mother to enduring an emotionally taxing custody battle, Danya shares her raw and powerful story of perseverance. She opens up about the boundaries she set (and the ones that were crossed), the physical and emotional toll of childbirth, and the spiritual and mental strength she cultivated to reclaim her life. Together, they explore cultural norms around postpartum boundaries, the impact of unconscious bias in maternal healthcare, and the unexpected ways healing unfolds—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned parent, or someone seeking inspiration through life's challenges, this conversation is a testament to the power of faith, self-preservation, and the unyielding love of a mother. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion on what it really takes to heal after birth.
