After the Worst

What happened when the hospital sent her home—and her body started to shut down

When the hospital sent her home just two hours after a stillbirth, Katrina thought the worst was behind her.


It wasn’t.

In Part 2 of our conversation, we pick up right where we left off—and it’s not a peaceful postpartum. It’s trauma, ignored symptoms, and a terrifying descent into septic shock while doctors told her she “looked fine.”

We talk about how the system fails women in the moments that matter most, what it really means to advocate for yourself when you’re too broken to stand, and the hidden cost of surviving something no one prepares you for.

But this episode isn’t just about the pain. It’s about the tools Katrina has picked up along the way. The people who actually helped. The boundaries she had to build. And what to do when a friend is going through the unthinkable and you have no idea how to show up.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it doesn’t wrap up with a perfect ending—but it will make you feel less alone, and maybe a little more equipped to care for someone else.

Before you press play—this is Part 2. And trust me, you’ll want to hear how we got here. [Start with Part 1]
