Descripción

What really happens in the quiet hours after birth — when the world is asleep but a new mother is wide awake? In this episode of Motherhood in Stereo, I’m joined by Pooja Patel a former Therapeutic Radiographer turned founder, whose experience in cancer care taught her the power of calm, precision, and human connection in moments of vulnerability. But it was becoming a mother herself that revealed something even more personal: the profound loneliness of the postpartum period. From 3am walks with her newborn to the realisation that there was no immediate emotional support between appointments, friends, and family, she opens up about the gap she experienced — and how it led her to build Naani, an audio-based emotional support companion for new mothers. We talk about: • The reality of postpartum loneliness • Why emotional support often disappears after birth • The transition from clinician to founder • How AI can support mothers without replacing human connection • What she wishes every new mum knew at 3am Raw, honest, and deeply relatable — this is an episode about what it really means to be held when you need it most.
