305: "Why Not Me?" Kirstin Fox's Extraordinary Story of Rebuilding Again and Again After Loss

By the time Kirstin Fox was 35, she had been married twice, lost a daughter to stillbirth, and rebuilt her life more times than most people ever will. Growing up on a small farm outside Young in regional NSW, Kirstin never imagined the heartbreak that would shape her life. At just 25 years old, her daughter Phoebe was stillborn – a loss that changed her forever. In the years that followed, Kirstin navigated unimaginable grief, divorce, single motherhood and the challenge of starting over again and again. Yet through it all, she kept finding a way forward. One question became her anchor, and Kirstin discovered a mindset that helped her reclaim her story and keep moving forward, even through life's darkest moments. In this deeply moving conversation, Kirstin opens up about her attempts to protect her heart from further heartbreak, finding love again, and why, at 44, she finally feels like life is only just beginning.Pregnancy and child loss support services:Red Nose Grief & Loss Support 24/7 Support Line 1300 308 307 The Pink Elephants Support NetworkSPONSORS: Living regionally means being surrounded by dams, tanks, troughs and creeks, making farm water safety an important conversation for every family.
