Episode Description

In this episode, I share a raw honest conversation about my experience with miscarriage.

It has been reported that 1 in 4 women, will experience miscarriage and sadly this is not something that I was aware of. More and more I am realizing that these figures are inaccurate and that in fact, miscarriage happens more than we care to admit. So why are we not having more conversations around this topic?

I will always be an advocate that you should do what feels right for you, but please know that you should not feel shamed, or silence when it comes to experiencing this kind of loss.

It doesn't matter how far along you were when you experienced loss it is hugely significant and it should not be suppressed.

Today I want to highlight the importance of not facing this alone. It is too big too carry by yourself so lean on those around you.

This is my story and it is important to highlight that we each have different experiences of loss, but in listening to my journey I hope that you feel a little less alone.

If this episode brought up anything difficult for you, please know you are not alone. Miscarriage and pregnancy loss can be deeply painful experiences, and support is available.

If you feel that listening to this conversation has stirred something in you, reaching out to someone you trust or to a support service can help. Speaking with people who understand pregnancy loss can make a difference during a time that can feel incredibly isolating.
