Roxanne's Serendipitous Journey to Becoming a Mom

Maternal Wealth Podcast - Own Your Birth

After years of accepting a future of no children due to a PCOS diagnosis, Roxanne found herself on a surprising path to motherhood. Discover how her journey from planning to foster care to unexpectedly reversing her diagnosis through lifestyle changes transformed her life. Along the way, her story is sprinkled with serendipitous moments and humorous anecdotes, such as cravings so intense that a friend suggested a pregnancy test, leading to a joyous discovery.

Self-advocacy in healthcare becomes a focal point as we unpack the sacrifices and strengths required for pregnant women, especially women of color, to assert their needs in medical settings. We hear from Roxanne about the importance of seeking out supportive healthcare providers who genuinely listen, illustrated by a powerful narrative of leaving an inattentive doctor for a team of caring professionals. This conversation speaks to broader societal issues in maternal health, urging all women to find empowered voices in their pregnancy journeys.

Parenthood brings various challenges and rewards, and in this episode, we tackle both single and shared parenting experiences. From the complexities of single parenthood to navigating disconnected familial relationships, we explore the myriad pressures and joys that parenting brings. Through Roxanne's candid storytelling, we find gratitude in the small, tender moments with children and the profound resilience required to face unexpected events, such as traumatic births, with courage and strength. Join us as we celebrate the power of shared stories to foster understanding and connection.
