Maria + Rylen

What this episode covers

Maria lost her first son Rylen James Laxer on October 12, 2022 due to an umbilical cord accident. Maria was 39 weeks pregnant & her world was completely shattered. She is doing the work in order to pick up the pieces. The day Maria came home from the hospital without Rylen, she put on a bracelet with his name & felt instantly more connected with him. From that moment on, she designed jewelry that reminded her of her son & started @shoprylenjames to provide the same feeling to other mamas throughout the world. The shop is beautiful and helps so many mommas with broken hearts. Show your support and purchase some jewelry for yourself of a bereaved momma like Maria. Maria and I connected right after Rylen's stillbirth. She wanted some insight on how to navigate this. So, seeing how far she has come in her grief makes me truly proud of these incredible mommas whose hearts are so big even though they are completely broken.
