Episode 2: “Whose Body Is This?” Birth Trauma, Medical Racism & Black Maternal Truths

In this deeply personal and politically urgent episode, Jasmine pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of Black motherhood in the U.S.where birth can feel more like battle than blessing.Trigger warning: We’re going there. Jasmine reflects on the devastating story of Adriana Smith, a Georgia nurse who was kept on life support for four months after death to deliver her baby—without her family's consent. From there, Jasmine shares her own birth story: the C-section, the panic attack, the yelling nurse, the felony threats over her baby’s birth certificate… and the echoes of that trauma, 11 years later, when she had to advocate for her son in the ER.This episode is not just about one story. It’s about a system that sees Black women as vessels, not humans. It’s about the line between survival and dignity. And it’s about reclaiming our softness as a sacred right—not a luxury.Mastering Mindset Challenge: Where in your life are you being treated like a tool instead of a whole person? Name it. Write about it. Set a boundary.This one is heavy but it’s necessary. Listen, pause when you need to, and come back when you’re ready.
