* I discovered that I was pregnant at age 29 a month after opening my own solo legal practice in a suburb of Cleveland, OH* My partner and I grew up in Louisville, KY. Our families were there, so we had no day-to-day support from them* My law school colleagues were practicing law 5 to 6 hours' drive away from where I was living.* I had to build my own tribe as a working mother.  My partner was working 70 or more hours a week.  So, although he was providing food and shelter, I was on my own as a parent and business woman.* I suffered a bad miscarriage when my son was 2 years old, and was hospitalized for a week because of heavy bleeding and passing lots of blood clots.  My mother flew in and took care of my son and brought him to the hospital to visit me. It was years later that I finally felt the grief of this loss and allowed myself to heal from this trauma.* I divorced when my son was almost 3 years old and he developed ADHD. I went on a healing journey to help him, and in the process began healing myself. I studied all kinds of healing modalities in an effort to keep him off drugs for his condition.* I have been a working mother - married, divorced, remarried and single since my son was born* He is now a successful entrepreneur with a son of his own.For years, I was an attorney.  I am still licensed to practice law in Colorado.  I owned a sold a solo practice that I started in Lakewood, OH, a suburb of ClevelandI used the proceeds of the sale to buy into a firm in Longmont, CO, near Denver, and became a partner in the firm.

In today's episode, I interview my beautiful client Damaris, who shares her fertility journey from experiencing two miscarriages to becoming naturally pregnant at 37 through a holistic approach to her health. Her story involves underlying issues with chronic bacterial vaginosis, compromised gut health which led to hormonal imbalances. Her story emphasizes the importance of personalized care, self-advocacy, and a comprehensive approach to fertility that goes beyond traditional medical treatments. Through patience, targeted interventions, and trusting the process, Damaris was able to overcome her fertility challenges and finally achieve a healthy natural pregnancy at 37.  Episode Highlights: Damaris, an ICU nurse, opens up about her journey through two miscarriages and now being 20 weeks pregnant. She reveals how chronic bacterial vaginosis was dismissed by doctors but deeply affected her fertility. A surprising gut health discovery changes everything; learn how she uncovered hidden issues and what helped her heal. From being clueless about cycle tracking to mastering her fertile window, Damaris shares the eye-opening lessons that transformed her understanding of her body. Facing low AMH and considering IVF, she found unexpected encouragement to explore natural fertility methods. Tune in for a heartfelt reflection on trusting intuition, personalized coaching, and the path that led to her pregnancy.

This week on Live Well Be Well, I got to sit down with the incredible Dr. Jessica Zucker, psychologist, writer, and fierce advocate for women's reproductive and mental health. We dove into some of the hardest stories we rarely talk about, the pressure to become a mother, the quiet weight of miscarriage, and that strange guilt that can come with ambivalence about parenthood. Jessica's wisdom on how our cultural scripts shape our inner lives is breathtaking and a much needed reminder that sharing our truths is how we heal.We peel back attachment theory in real life, exploring how our earliest bonds echo through every relationship we have and why rewriting those old narratives can be our greatest act of self love. Jessica does not shy away from the emotional labor we carry, the hidden tears, the unspoken hopes, and the ways we hold ourselves back from speaking up. This is not just theory, it is a heartfelt guide to giving voice to the parts of ourselves we have been taught to silence.By the end of our chat you will see why honesty is revolutionary, why compassion for yourself changes everything, and what courage really looks like in the messy middle of life. If you have ever felt alone in your doubts or stifled by expectations this episode is for you.About Dr. Jessica Zucker:Dr. Jessica Zucker is a renowned psychologist, writer, and advocate specialising in women's reproductive and maternal mental health.

Hey sister. Whew—this one hits home. Today we're talking about getting pregnant after a miscarriage. It's not easy. If you've been there, you know the mix of hope, fear, joy, and anxiety that swirls around every test, every cramp, every thought. After two healthy pregnancies, I walked through three losses in a row—including a 15-week miscarriage. I didn't want to try again without understanding what had happened. So I went on a healing journey: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And by God's grace, we welcomed our rainbow baby girl. Now, I'm pregnant again. And I still need these tools I'm sharing with you today. In this episode, I walk you through 5 things that helped me walk in peace and trust through pregnancy after loss: Choosing a Scripture for your baby Praying with your husband Changing your scene (“change of pace, place, direction”) Building a support team (including why I love midwives!)

Shame and stigma are used to keep us in line and keep us quiet. Some of it is quite obvious, while other parts of the shame and stigma are more subtle and a little harder to recognise. From girlhood, we are taught that we should look and feel a certain way. The expectations of motherhood, our careers, our bodies, whether or not we should choose marriage are all laced with taboos. Today’s guest is Dr Jessica Zucker. Jessica is a clinical psychologist with a PhD who specialises in reproductive health and the author of the award-winning book I HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a Movement. Today we are going to unpack some of the concepts of her second book titled Normalize it: Upending the Silence, Stigma and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives. We speak about: Jessica’s own miscarriage and how women tend to blame themselves when they experience miscarriage Being told to keep pregnancy a secret until 2nd trimester & how it can leave women feeling unsupported The trifecta of silence, shame and stigma and how they all feed each other “At least” comments and how they try to ‘tidy up’ pain Objectification theory Navigating diet culture and health messaging with our kids The language we use when it comes to health and conditions like cancer of ‘beating it,’ ‘be strong’ and ‘fighting’ Perfectionism and it’s link to anxiety The narratives of what we ‘should’ want to be like married and mothers You can get a copy of Dr Jessica Zucker’s new book here: Amazon Find her on Instagram: @ihadamiscarriage And more from her website: drjessicazucker.com You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Through it all, Jessica has learned invaluable lessons about perseverance, redefining success, and trusting the timing of life.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt lost in the transition to motherhood, struggled with fertility, or needed a reminder that even the sweetest success comes with challenges.

On this episode of Talking Away The Taboo, Jessica Zucker, PhD, joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about... -her new book, “Normalize It” -how she expands her lens to address a multitude of challenges that women face- that so often make them stay silent -how to speak about the uncomfortable to help make you feel less alone (even though I hate that phrase- listen to hear why!) More about Dr. Zucker:  Dr. Zucker specializes in reproductive and maternal mental health, which means she primarily works with women who are contemplating or struggling with pregnancy, pregnancy and infant loss, pregnancy after loss, pregnancy ambivalence, during transitions in motherhood, prenatal and postpartum adjustments, birth trauma, perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and in the midst of relationship challenges after the birth or loss of a child. In her critically acclaimed, groundbreaking book I Had a Miscarriage, Jessica Zucker boldly exposed the silence, stigma, and shame that surround pregnancy loss and demonstrated the need to normalize conversations around painful reproductive events that too often go unspoken. In Normalize It, Zucker expands her lens to address a multitude of challenges women face—from girlhood, body image, motherhood, reproductive choice, sexual trauma, menopause, and more—that so often incite shame and overwhelming cultural pressure to stay silent. Based on patient stories, coupled with cutting-edge psychological research, Zucker fearlessly shares her insights into the shame and stigma that shroud so many women's experiences and explores the liberation that can follow when we get vulnerable and talk about the hard stuff.

There are times in life where we have to cling to the goodness of the Lord lest we drown under the waves of sorrow and loss. Our family has recently been in that season as we walked through our second miscarriage. I share the story of our grief, but my prayer is that hope shines brightly through all the darkness. God is always, only good- even when our hearts are breaking.

In episode 189 of the Smooth Stones Podcast, I share a powerful tool that I regularly use with my clients - the check-in. I'll guide you on how to perform your own daily or weekly check-ins to assess both your physical and emotional well-being. This involves scanning your body, evaluating your nervous system, and reflecting on your recent experiences. We'll explore essential questions like 'What are your wins?', 'What's working and what's not?', and 'What support do I need?' These steps help you understand your needs and make the necessary changes to aid your healing journey. It's important to recognize that listening to a podcast is helpful, but taking the additional step of working with a coach can provide tailored support. I encourage you to take advantage of my free mini-course on how to stop blaming yourself, especially if you've experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or baby loss. By performing these intentional check-ins, you empower yourself to better navigate grief and create positive shifts in your life.

In this episode, I wanted to take a little time to answer some amazing questions and share thoughtful insights from the community. I've been getting really deep, thought-provoking messages, so today's topics are all over the map in the best kind of way!There was a really heartfelt question from a listener who recently experienced a miscarriage and is now navigating hormone balance while caring for a 15-month-old on her farm. She described living a “healthy” life—eating well, being active—but is still feeling emotionally numb and physically depleted while facing extremely low progesterone levels. We often talk on this podcast about how women are taught to approach healing from a very masculine perspective—doing more, pushing harder, achieving balance through force. But real healing, especially hormonal healing, often requires a softening. Progesterone is a hormone of safety, of calm, of rest. Post-miscarriage, our hormones don't just snap back. It takes time to restore what was depleted during pregnancy. Some foundational things to think about include appropriate intake of carbohydrates and minerals, as well as adequate rest and reducing stress levels.Finally, we dive into how to pursue a God-given dream without losing ourselves in the grind. The fear of stepping out of alignment with our values, the deep desire to stay soft, feminine, and rooted in slow living, can be so intimidating. I've learned the hard way that hustle culture can quickly strip away your peace if you're not careful. We definitely have an action-packed episode that's touching on all of these topics and more today. Tune in today to hear more! In this episode:[00:37] Welcome back to The Fully Nourished Podcast![01:17] A spiritual insight into language.[02:44] The tie between miscarriage and body depletion in light of low progesterone.[20:11] The feminine aspect of astrology.[22:23] How can we hold space for our visions and goals without losing our feminine energy?[28:43] The impacts of women taking the role of the sole provider in relationships. [31:31] Co-creating with the higher power to align with our visions. [37:11] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast!Links and Resources:Get more info on Philosophia Society Here:https://www.jessicaashwellness.com/philosophia-societySubmit a Question for our Next Q&A:https://airtable.com/appoicByQy3UFoSXs/shrXwD7wQFJQr68NnPregnancy's Toll on the Body: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40140522/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK555904/Dr. Tom Brewer:http://www.drbrewerpregnancydiet.com/index.htmlSign Up for Sunday Tea Here: https://jessica-ash-wellness.ck.page/04f86a550fConnect with Jessica:Have Sunday tea with me!

There are the stories we tell out loud, and then there are the ones we keep tucked away—the ones that ache the most, because we've carried them in silence.On this episode of On Health, we're breaking the silence—and the stigma—around some of the most vulnerable, hidden experiences women carry: miscarriage, illness, identity loss, perfectionism, aging, and the loneliness so many of us feel but rarely name.I'm joined by the phenomenal Dr. Jessica Zucker, clinical psychologist and author of the groundbreaking memoir I Had a Miscarriage, and her latest book, Normalize It, which is just what we need: an invitation to stop apologizing for what we're going through—and start talking about it.Together, we explore:How grief grows in silence—and thrives in stigmaWhat it means when you don't feel like yourselfWhy midlife isn't a decline—it's a reckoningWhat being a “good girl” has cost usWhy loneliness is a serious health issueWhy we are more than what we doHow perfectionism is stealing our joyThis one's for all the women tired of pretending they're fine.Who are aching to be seen.Who are ready to stop carrying the weight alone.Looking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?

Let's be real—being a woman isn't either empowering or exhausting… it's both, often at the same damn time. And the parts we're told to keep quiet about? The messy, emotional, deeply human ones? Those are exactly the conversations we need to have out loud.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jessica Zucker, psychologist, writer, and creator of the viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign. She's the author of I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, A Movement, and her newest book Normalize It: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women's Lives is a battle cry for truth, healing, and visibility.We talk about the power of saying the quiet parts out loud—especially when it comes to miscarriage, reproductive health, grief, and the impossible expectations women are expected to carry. This is for anyone who's tired of pretending everything's fine and ready to tell the whole story—not just the polished parts.In This Episode, We Cover:✅ The emotional toll of silence, stigma, and “looking fine”✅ Why normalizing miscarriage, loss, and vulnerability matters✅ The importance of speaking up (even when it's uncomfortable)✅ Why telling your story is healing for you and for othersWhen we normalize what's real, we free ourselves—and each other. Let's stop hiding our stories and start healing through them.Connect with Jessica: Book: Normalize It: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame that Shame Women's LivesIG: https://www.instagram.com/ihadamiscarriage/Related Podcast Episodes:The Good Mother Myth with Nancy Reddy | 274The Resilience Myth with Soraya Chemaly | 249127 / Trauma with Jessi BeyerGet up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/tiww ! #squarepodShare the Love:If you found this episode insightful, please share it with a friend, tag us on social media, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!
