Trigger Warning: Pregnancy and Infant Loss As we hold moms who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss in our hearts, there is another group of women who struggle in silence without support. Many women have had to make the impossible decision to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons. Unfortunately, these women aren't shown the same support after their loss because their decision is oftentimes seen as controversial or wrong. In this episode, we sit down with women who have experienced pregnancy loss as they share their stories about what it was like to make these decisions and how it has shaped them into who they are today.

Moms today have a million things they are “supposed” to do. We take care of the kids from morning to night, clean every surface multiple times a day, and cook healthy meals for our families. But beyond that, society now expects us to be better for ourselves: self care, meditation, exercise, journaling. There simply aren't enough hours in a day to do everything. In this episode, our panel of moms discusses how we can do less in order to do more, and ways to avoid feeling the societal pressure to constantly be on the go.
