In this episode, Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with musician Sephine Llo (Josie) about love, loss, and the complicated road to motherhood after bereavement.Josie married fellow musician Rob just days after his stage-four cancer diagnosis. Over the next two years, they endured 30 rounds of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and the looming reality of terminal illness—all while clinging to hope and planning for a family. Before treatment began, they froze embryos, a decision that would shape Josie's life long after Rob's death.When Rob died in hospice care, Josie was carrying their son Laurie. Years later, she returned to those frozen embryos to conceive their daughter, Connie. Now a solo parent of two, she speaks with raw honesty about postpartum depression, the judgement she faced for using embryos after loss, and the daily work of raising children who will only ever know their dad through photographs and recordings.Music threads through it all. For years Josie couldn't write a song, until she found Rob's unfinished demos and turned them into Diamond Fall—a posthumous album released on what would have been their tenth anniversary. She describes it as a conversation with Rob, and a way to keep his voice alive for their children.This conversation touches on:Managing illness, work, and finances as cancer takes over a householdIVF after bereavement and the emotions of parenting children conceived with a late partnerThe silences of grief: “I didn't laugh for years”Dating again after monumental lossContent warning: Includes discussion of terminal cancer, IVF after partner death, hospice care, suicidal thoughts, and solo parent grief.If you're a solo parent, bereaved partner, or navigating medically complex grief, Josie's story may resonate—and remind you you're not alone.

Send us a textWeston's journey began after the unthinkable: his wife passed away just days after their son was born prematurely—at only 26 weeks. In the aftermath, he faced overwhelming grief, spiritual disorientation, and the pressure to keep moving forward. Through that crucible, he discovered that clarity doesn't come by waiting—it comes through committed movement.That revelation became the foundation of the D.R.I.V.E. Framework—a practical, spiritually grounded system for helping high performers find purpose, reconnect with God, and rebuild their lives from the inside out.Through captivating musical keynotes and transformational retreats, Weston now helps others who feel stuck, wounded, or lost in transition rediscover their divine assignment. Through his powerful storytelling he motivates all to start moving again with peace, clarity, and power.Weston Brandon is a keynote speaker, song writer, men's coach, and author of The Overhaul—a transformational guide to partnering with God, rebuilding your life, and 10X'ing the areas that matter most.Website: www.westonbrandon.comInstagram: @westonbrandonspeakerFacebook: Weston BrandonTikTok: @westonbrandonspeakerGet the Book: The Overhaul: Fixing Your Mindset and Driving SuccessVisit westonbrandon.com/the-bookSupport the show

A mistake at an IVF clinic has led to a woman giving birth to a stranger’s baby. It’s a catastrophic error and not the first one that’s recently come to light. Such risks are not covered in the marketing material of Australia’s major fertility clinics. But this mistake – at one of the oldest and most reputable clinics in the country – has had devastating consequences that reach far beyond the affected families, and damaged the confidence of anyone relying on fertility treatment in Australia. Today, writer and public health campaigner Hannah Bambra on how Monash IVF has handled its monumental mistake, and why the IVF industry is so vulnerable to human error.

Wow, this episode is so powerful and so precious. Hayley joins us on the podcast to share her story with Harry, her beautiful son who is now 4 years old and absolutely thriving.Hayley and her partner, Jordan, welcomed their boy into the world at just 24 weeks old, weighing a tiny 700 grams. Harry spent the first 16 weeks of his life in the NICU after being born so prematurely, miraculously coming home on his due date. Hayley talks us through her entire story, from her joy at falling pregnant, to being hospitalised for premature labour and the anxiety-filled weeks that followed while medical staff tried to stop her labour progressing. She shares her birth with Harry, and the complications that arose for them both.Hayley talks vulnerably on the day-to-day NICU experience with a micro-preemie - the milestones of Harry opening his eyes for the first time, buying his first clothes and blankets, and also the challenges of waiting for his lungs to mature, navigating pumping and feeding, and sitting by his cot without being able to cuddle him. Finally, Hayley and Jordan were able to bring Harry home and Hayley shares what these first few weeks and months looked like as they adapted to life outside of the hospital, and what has changed over the years as Harry continues to thrive. This is such a beautiful episode, about a beautiful family. Hayley speaks so openly of an experience that so few walk, and we are so grateful for her sharing her's and Harry's story. Links Hayley mentioned in the episode:Life's Little Treasures FoundationMiracle Babies FoundationJoin our Growing community on instagram ⁠⁠⁠@growingupraisinguspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see photos of our weekly guests, behind the scenes moments, and keep up to date with episode releases.This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.

Send us a textIt's the season finale, and I'm delighted to wrap up with a powerful and thought-provoking conversation featuring the incredible Dr Rachel Reed - midwife, educator, author, and advocate for physiological birth.In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid something that often triggers alarm bells during labour. But should it?

Yet it can have a profound physical and emotional impact on a woman's life. It's time to break the silence.In this episode, we explore:What postpartum prolapse actually isThe symptoms that are too often dismissed or normalisedWhy so many women feel shocked, ashamed, or let down when they discover they have a prolapseHow the language we use around birth and recovery plays a role in this silenceWhy informed preparation before birth is key to preventing or reducing riskWhat real support looks like - and how we can do betterWhether you're a birth partner, a birth professional, or someone navigating your own postpartum recovery, this episode is for you.Let's shine a light on this hidden struggle and advocate for real change in postpartum care.Get support: Reach out to pelvic health specialists or women's health physiotherapists in your area.Contact Hayley on Instagram - @thebadassbirthcompany Contact Margo on Instagram - @pospartum_pop_pt Margo's Website https://www.p4moms.com for her membership community and resources. If you found this episode helpful, please leave a review and share it with someone who needs to hear this.

There's a bit of a parental feel about this week's podcast. Two mums from Nottingham were categorised in a hospital computer system as having learning disabilities and, they say, received poor treatment as a result. Claire Whyte and Elizabeth Jones are autistic but their local NHS trust only has the ability to (inappropriately) categorise them as having a learning disability, because there is no neurodivergent box to tick on the system. They say they were spoken to in simplified language and had decisions about their care made without consulting them. As a result, they felt patronised and left out of their own maternity care. Presenter Emma Tracey speaks to them and we get a response from the NHS and the company, System C, who make the app. Emma also speaks to Jessica Slice, author of newly published and ironically titled book Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World. In it she maintains that disabled people are unusually placed to have the skills to be parents. She says her life as someone with POTS and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, has made her more resilient, patient, tolerant of pain, and thinks disabled people shouldn't be written off as mums and dads ... and a whole lot more.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I explore one of the most profound truths about birth - the fact that you are the creator of life. I dive into how modern maternity services undermine women's instincts, why doubt is a normal part of labour, and how the subconscious work of pregnancy is what truly saves women in the birth room.I explore why achieving a physiological birth in 2025 is about more than just having a birth plan. While a plan is a great starting point, it's not enough to guarantee a hands-off, natural birth experience in today's birth landscape.If you are preparing for birth and ready to reconnect with your instincts, I strongly recommend you join Discover Your North Star - my unique birth preparation course designed to help you do the inner work that will carry you through birth and beyond.It's aim is to empower you by transforming your mindset, and delve deep into your subconscious to reframe limiting beliefs and unlock your true potential.

If I had a nickel for every time a very old major leader passed while Trisha Paytas was pregnant, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice. Could Trish really be pregnant with Pope Francis reincarnate? Plus, Shane Dawson seemingly calls out Trisha in his first interview since getting canceled. And JoJo Siwa sparks controversy in the 'CBBUK' house after getting intimate with another houseguest.

Episode 3543: Eric Teplitz reflects on the pursuit of dreams through the lens of his own journey as a musician, drawing parallels between creative endeavors and the act of giving birth. Despite the heartbreak of his music career not unfolding as he had hoped, he embraces the experience with no regrets, emphasizing that the greatest risk is not trying at all. His story serves as a powerful reminder that while chasing dreams can lead to disappointment, it can also lead to growth, resilience, and a life well-lived. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://inspiredlivingblog.wordpress.com/2021/12/08/on-giving-birth-and-pursuing-dreams/ Quotes to ponder: "My personal opinion is that if there is a 'goal' to aspire to for this bizarre situation we find ourselves in called a human life, it might be to minimize regret." "Yes, pursuing your dreams is risky business, and could very well lead to heartache. But what about the heartache of being on your deathbed and realizing you never even tried?" "Giving birth to a literal child, a piece of art, or a new version of yourself is an act of courage."
