Gianna Blaney: 'I Was Told My Baby Might Not Survive…'

from Certified Oversharer

This week on Certified Oversharer, Samantha is joined by Gianna Blaney for a raw and emotional conversation about motherhood, mental health, and everything in between. Gianna opens up about her unexpected and incredibly difficult pregnancy, from being sick to navigating serious health complications while her husband, Ryan Blaney, was racing on the track in the NASCAR Cup Series. She shares the intense moments leading up to her emergency C-section, the fear of not knowing if her baby would survive, and the reality of postpartum hitting when no one was around. The two also dive into postpartum anxiety, mom guilt, and the mental health struggles that so many women face but don't always talk about. Gianna reflects on her past experiences with bullying, how it shaped her, and how she's now found healing through animal therapy and life on her farm—including her now very full house of animals. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that you're not alone in any season of life. 📞 Got tea to spill or chaos to confess?
