Miscarriage is an experience no one wants to face, yet so many women do—often in silence. In this episode, I sit down with Allison Schaaf, founder of Miscarriage Hope Desk, to talk about the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy loss, how to process grief, and what it looks like to find hope again. Whether you're trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal, navigating recurrent pregnancy loss, or simply struggling with the uncertainty of your fertility journey, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone.
