It's taken me a lot to believe that I have something more to give. That my story is worth telling, and that I would be heard.

I thought I was always a confident person, but something about my motherhood journey left me doubting everything I thought I knew about myself and the world.

Slowly, slowly, I'm building up my confidence again. I'm finally believing in myself, and that my knowledge, experience, and skills can help other women.

In the past week, two separate women opened up to share their stories with me and told me that I was easy to talk to. Growing up, I always had close friends who confided in me, but maybe it was the pandemic, or just the exhaustion of being an adult in 2025, but I forgot that I was a good listener and that sometimes, listening is everything.

We all have stories to tell and we all long to be heard. When your work with me, my first step will always be to listen, to hold, and then offer support where I can. I don't pretend to have all the knowledge or answers, but I do promise to be your partner on this wild journey of modern motherhood.

Who can relate???

Being a new mom is CHALLENGING and we are not being honest with our pregnant moms about the transformation they are about to experience, but also all the supports and tools available to them.

Seven Mothers is re-writing the script. We offer real-life strategies and that you can use right away to feel like yourself again and enjoy your motherhood journey. If you are an expectant or new mother thinking any of the questions above, schedule your FREE consultation today.

Hi there 👋🏽 Reintroducing myself here as it's been a minute. I'm Vaishi, mom to two daughters and a survivor of birth trauma and PMADs.

May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness month and you may have seen content on your feed about this already. I'm reintroducing myself because this time, I'm ready to share my story and why I'm really here.

I experienced a traumatic birth with my daughter, nearly 7 years ago. At the time, I knew I was traumatized by the event, but did not realize how much the events immediately following her birth would impact my experience of motherhood and change me forever. I reported PTSD at my ONE postpartum check-up and was basically told that time would heal the wounds and that it was highly unlikely I would experience anything like this again if I chose to have another child (at a midwifery group at a major hospital center in Washington, DC!). So, I did what I thought I was supposed to do and "moved on."

Unfortunately, this is not how trauma works and depression reared it's ugly head as we headed into the pandemic. I don't honestly know how any of us parents actually survived that time or decided to continue growing our families during this time, but we did! By the summer of 2021 I was expecting my second little one, with a little relief in having the covid vaccines and thinking the worst was behind us.

Looking back now, it seems obvious why I would be anxious during this pregnancy- the unaddresed PTSD, covid (which I got at 31 weeks gestation, despite vaccines), and the utter lack of empathy and support for women and mothers in our society. I felt like I just had to grin and bear it despite crying myself to sleep most nights through at least the second half of my pregnancy. I did, again, report my intense anxiety to my midwives, but was told to try yoga, meditation, getting outdoors and fresh air everyday, and staying hydrated (I was peeing once an hour). I was attempting a VBAC and I honestly think that I was unsuccessful because of all of these factors... my mind, body, and soul have been disconnected since my traumatic birth experience. In hindsight, I should've gone somewhere else to providers who actually listened 😐
