Podcasts about Miscarriage

Kaitlyn Joshua is a faith organizer and activist whose advocacy for reproductive freedom is rooted in one of the most painful experiences of her life. In this episode, Kaitlyn shares how what began as a planned pregnancy turned into a medical crisis—when she was turned away from the emergency room twice while miscarrying, left to suffer for months without care. This moment wasn’t just a pivot — it was a reckoning. As a woman of faith, Kaitlyn recognized that her experience was not an anomaly; it was the direct result of restrictive reproductive policies in a post-Roe America. Fueled by her personal trauma and deep commitment to justice, Kaitlyn has become a powerful national voice, co-founding Abortion in America, joining the Harris-Walz campaign trail, and being named one of Glamour’s Women of the Year.

Ep 70: In this powerful and personal episode, I sit down with Leah Van Dale — former WWE superstar, NFL cheerleader, entrepreneur, and soon-to-be mom of two — to talk about the real story behind her WWE departure, her physical and emotional recovery after a miscarriage followed by a birth that led to a condition called drop foot, and we get into the inspiration behind her new brand Snatch.Whether you're a wrestling fan, a mom, an athlete, or just someone navigating major life transitions, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and hopeful.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Siân Marie Pilkington. Siân is The Wild Mama who has raised her babies and has landed shakti-based, goddess-devoted, and in service to the taboos of blood, birth, sexuality and death. A queer celt, Magdalene, radical birth worker, herbalist, and ceremonialist, she guides femmes back to the Great Mother, blending primal intelligence with embodied, Earth-honoring magic.  Siân now works purposefully to decolonize the rites of passage we've been taught to fear, reclaiming birth, postpartum, eros, and endings as sacred. Mentoring doulas and space holders in altered states, ecstatic birth, and collaborative community care, her work is a love letter to those ready to remember, rewild, and bring initiations home. In this beautiful episode about death we explore Siân's sacred and unique perspective around miscarriage as a natural, ancient healing ‘rite of passage' - rather than the taboo, over-clinicalised, sanitised, dissociative experience it can be created as by our world.  Sharing the healing transformation she was able to reclaim from her own miscarriage, and the ancient wisdom passed down from elders, Siân shines a light on the interconnectedness of grief and initiation - and the role of ritual and ceremony in alchemy.  Providing practical advice on holistic practices, herbs and remedies to support healing, she illuminates the powerful remedy that can be found (for us all) in learning how to see and hear ourselves and share our stories - touching on shame, rage and grief - and how the witch can help heal the societal avoidance of death and grief. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Miscarriage is over-sanitised in our patriarchal culture - which has it commonly not seen as the significant ‘peak experience' and transformative rite of passage that it can be, similar to live childbirth and other life transitions Miscarriage can be a deeply emotional and spiritual journey where we learn how to meet ourselves, face and process intense emotions, including grief and loss - and even pleasure - yet it is also often seen as ‘taboo' and shameful Left alone, and if we can allow ourselves to sit patiently, whilst allowing everything to move through us, the body has a natural wisdom in how to process miscarriage - and we can attune to our bodies to navigate this.  We are broken in the process - we are giving birth to death - and, often, it is also the path to reclaiming our wisdom. If we have had an over-clinicalised miscarriage, we can still journey with reclaiming this rite of passage - this threshold - through ritual and ceremony, reclaiming parts of ourselves that have felt lost to this process. Telling our story - and being seen and held in sisterhood - is a deeply crucial step in our healing journey, for personal closure. Sharing it with others also offers a remedy for them, too. We are remedies for those like us.

The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy LossWhat if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed?In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies.Hi! This is Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for 18 years with additional board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I'm the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of Egg Meets Sperm Podcast (a Top 5% podcast).

I'm the founder of Madre Fertility and Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade.The Game-Changing DiscoveryHere's what most doctors never tell you: Your immune system's job is to attack foreign invaders, but during pregnancy, it must learn to tolerate your baby (who is genetically half foreign to your body). When this delicate balance goes wrong, it can sabotage your pregnancies—not your ability to conceive, but your ability to maintain them.The 4 Hidden Immune SaboteursI reveal the four critical immune factors that could be destroying your pregnancies:Overactive Natural Killer Cells (found in 44% of "unexplained" losses)Autoimmune Antibodies (causing up to 90% loss rates when untreated)Immune System Imbalance (staying in "attack mode" instead of "protect mode")Gut-Immune Connection (70% of your immune system lives in your gut!)The Hope-Filled TruthHere's the incredible news: Women with immune-related pregnancy loss who receive proper treatment have a 70-80% live birth rate, compared to only 20% without treatment.My patient with four losses? After identifying her immune imbalances and treating them with targeted protocols, she went on to have TWO healthy pregnancies.What You'll LearnThe simple blood tests that could have caught this years earlierWhy standard pregnancy loss workups miss these factors entirelyBoth medical and natural treatment options that actually workThe exact questions to ask your doctor (don't leave empty-handed!)Red flags that suggest your immune system might be the culpritYour Next StepsIf you've experienced recurrent pregnancy loss—especially between 6-10 weeks with "normal" test results—this episode could change everything for you. Your immune system doesn't have to be your enemy; it can become your greatest ally in creating and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.Ready to get answers instead of more heartbreak? This episode gives you the roadmap to finally understand what might be happening and what you can do about it.Don't miss out on this in-depth episode filled with practical advice and inspiration to help you on your fertility journey.Let's chat!

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our powerful chat with digital creator and mom-of-one Rebecca Zamolo, we dive into the emotional aftermath that no one prepares you for. Rebecca gets honest about what it was like to finally get pregnant after years of IVF and surgery—only to be met with anxiety, grief, and PTSD instead of the joy she expected. From high-risk pregnancy fears to the moment she almost quit YouTube altogether, this episode explores what happens when your dream comes true… but healing still hasn't arrived. We also talk about miscarriage, the pressure to show up for millions online while breaking inside, and how she and her husband made the decision to grow their family via surrogacy. Rebecca shares what she's learned about letting go of control, navigating grief, and how to prepare emotionally for baby #2 when your heart's still healing from baby #1. This one's for anyone who's ever had to keep hoping, even when it hurts. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Healing after IVF takes more than a pregnancy. Even after a successful round, Rebecca still faced anxiety, grief, and PTSD from her previous loss. Emotional healing doesn't automatically follow physical outcomes—it requires space, support, and time. You don't have to “stay strong” all the time. Rebecca opens up about the pressure to be positive for others while silently struggling. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to not be okay is a crucial part of real healing. It's okay to reconsider your path. After years of chasing content creation success, Rebecca nearly walked away from YouTube. Her story shows that healing may require stepping back from what no longer aligns—even if it once did. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website TikTok YouTube Fertility Supplements Ostomy Secrets ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In today's episode, I'm diving into the fascinating world of genetic testing for fertility, unpacking the differences between traditional genetic carrier screening and the innovative Grow Baby Genetic Test. While carrier screening is a powerful way to discover if you or your partner carry hidden genetic risks for serious inherited conditions, what if you could go even further? That's where the Grow Baby Genetic Test comes in.  Unlike standard carrier screening, Grow Baby zeroes in on your own genetic blueprint, maternal health and pregnancy optimization by analyzing key genes that influence your fertility, hormone balance, nutrient needs, and pregnancy health. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or in the thick of it and experiencing recurrent loss or preparing for fertility treatment, this episode will show you why this affordable genetic test is more than just a precaution, it's your roadmap to confident, empowered pregnancy planning.

Hey sisters! Today I'm welcoming back the sweet, radiant Naya—who you may remember from Episode 37. If not, let me catch you up: she shared her story of walking through miscarriage, finding healing, and getting pregnant again. It was powerful then... and this update is even more incredible! When we last spoke, Naya was 13 weeks pregnant and filled with hope. Now? Her rainbow baby is 10 months old, and she's walking us through everything that's happened since—from a surrendered pregnancy to a long and intense labor, to a really raw, faith-filled postpartum season that didn't go quite like she imagined. In this episode, she shares: How she stuck with her anti-inflammatory habits throughout pregnancy What changed when her midwife unexpectedly got injured late in pregnancy How she coped with hospital birth, long labor, and a surprise epidural Her emotional NICU experience when baby had jaundice The spiritual truth God whispered over and over: “It's not about the midwife. It's not the doctor. It's Me.” We talk about what it's like to dream big for birth… and still surrender it all to God. Plus, we offer encouragement and warnings for mamas choosing hospital birth—especially around third-trimester ultrasounds, postpartum protocols, and breastfeeding setbacks.

I'm back and with a mini "rebrand"...At a Total Loss is now Living the Loss Life because well, that's what I'm doing every single day and I'm here to share it with you.When I first hit record, I was drowning. I had just lost Brody only 4 months prior. I was raw, wrecked, and trying to survive the total devastation of stillbirth. That title—At a Total Loss—fit where I was. But grief doesn't stay in one place...and neither do we.In losing him, I've also gained so much:Perspective. Purpose. A community. A deeper love. A different version of myself.So it's time, for the podcast to evolve, too.In this episode I fill you in on what's been happening since I took a mini break (whoops) and what's happening next. I had a wild experience in Albania and I finally tell Wolfy's birth story since he turns TWO YEARS OLD on June 6th! holy moly. All of this is to let you know you're not alone no matter what stage you're in. Thank you for staying on this path with me. We're still grieving. We're still healing. But now we're living even though we've lost.

A few months ago, our guest today, the founder of Cycle Seeds Iris Josephina Verstappen, was hosting a retreat in a goddess temple in Malta when she began to miscarry. Having accompanied many women through pregnancy loss, both as a doula and a holistic hormone and cycle coach, she's witnessed the storm of emotions that can arise with miscarriage, as well as the taboo surrounding it. So she decided to publicly share about her experience with her 60,000 followers, to be a permission slip for others, so that they don't have to suffer in silence. In our conversation Iris shares generously and vulnerably about how she has navigated the grief, loneliness, confusion and earth-shaking fear that it could all happen again, as well as the paradoxical feelings of love, possibility, and gratitude for how the experience of pregnancy opened her up. Our hope is that if you're one of the one in four women and people who experience pregnancy loss, this conversation helps you to feel less alone with whatever you're feeling. We explore:The imposter syndrome that arose for Iris when she tried to go back to work, and found herself questioning how this could have happened to her when she was doing everything “right”, especially as an educator in the field of cyclical living and women's health, and how the antidote was simply to lie with her belly flat on the earth. The lack of community support around grief and loss, but especially in the post-partum window after miscarriage where the body is still recovering from the pregnancy, and Iris offers some great ideas for how to support a friend going through this. How Iris is navigating the identity crisis that comes with inhabiting the liminal space between maiden and mother, between becoming and unbecoming, as well as being in a body that looks and feels different after her pregnancy loss.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

What happens when we stop whispering about miscarriage and start telling our stories out loud? How can we begin to shed the shame and silence that so often surround women's health experiences? And why is open dialogue so essential in shifting the cultural narrative around infertility, menopause, and mental health? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Lora Shahine is joined by psychologist and author Jessica Zucker, founder of the #IHadAMiscarriage movement. Drawing from her own experience of miscarriage and her professional expertise, Jessica shares how storytelling and vulnerability have the power to change the way we view and talk about women's health.  Jessica's book Normalize It further explores these themes, encouraging women to own their experiences and find connection through honesty and shared truth. Together, Dr. Shahine and Jessica dive into the many ways women are pressured to stay silent about their bodies and emotions—from miscarriage and infertility to menopause and mental health.  In this episode you'll hear: [2:19] Jessica's personal journey #IHadAMiscarriage [5:05] Impact of #IHadAMiscarriage movement [12:16] Exploring the themes in Normalize It [17:04] Healing potential of storytelling [20:55] Breaking down stigma through community [25:02] Personal experience integrated with professional practice [30:19] Societal pressures on women [34:58] Empowerment through shared experiences [36:35] The importance of education and open dialogue Resources mentioned:  drjessicazucker.com  Normalize It by Jessica Zucker, PhD  Follow Jessica on IG - @ihadamiscarriage  Inside Amy Schumer - Last F**kable Day (ft.

How does coaching help individuals navigate the emotional complexity of fertility challenges? [TRIGGER WARNING: This episode explores themes around fertility coaching, including infertility, miscarriage, and the emotional complexities of family planning. Our goal is to provide insight, support, and resources for those navigating this journey. We approach these discussions with care, aiming to empower and inform rather than overwhelm. Please listen in a way that feels right for you.] In today's episode, we delve into a deeply personal and emotionally sensitive area, coaching and fertility. It's a topic close to the hearts of many, including coaches who are drawn to this space after their own experiences with infertility, miscarriage, or navigating the complex decisions surrounding parenthood. It's a specialism that requires an intricate understanding of emotions coaching and a strong foundation in trauma-informed coaching. Coaching in the fertility space is uniquely challenging and deeply rewarding. It supports clients navigating emotional complexities, such as uncertainty, high-stakes decisions, or the impact on relationships. Fertility coaching often requires a shift from a future-focused approach to helping clients find balance in the present. This niche demands strong foundational training, particularly in emotions coaching, to effectively address sensitive topics and maintain ethical boundaries. Coaches may help clients process emotional blockers like stress or unresolved experiences that can influence fertility. Many fertility coaches are drawn to this work through personal experiences, making self-awareness essential to provide unbiased, emotionally attuned support. Long-term engagement is often necessary, as clients' needs evolve through treatments or decisions like adoption or living child-free. The role of coaching here is to provide a safe space for reflection, emotional processing, and alignment with personal values, ensuring clients feel supported throughout their journey. If you're a coach looking to deepen your expertise in this area, you may find our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training invaluable. It provides a deeper understanding of emotional dynamics and the psychological aspects of coaching, ensuring you can support clients in the best possible way. Key Lessons Learned: Robust training is essential for fertility coaches to ensure they operate within ethical boundaries and provide meaningful support. Coaching in this space is both emotionally sensitive and deeply fulfilling, requiring careful emotional attunement. Clients in fertility coaching often live in uncertainty, and the coaching process must prioritise presence over a purely future-focused approach. Personal experience often draws coaches to this niche, but self-awareness is crucial to avoid emotional bias in coaching interactions. Coaching engagements may need to be long-term, adjusting to the evolving emotional and practical needs of clients.

* 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.

Brought to you by Tommy Tippee.This week I have Melina Sarris, award winning 7NEWS reporter & Jonathan, on the podcast. We chat about:

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.

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!) Verse mapping (and how to get started) Sister, if you've had a loss—or if you're even thinking about trying again—this episode is for you. You're not alone. I see you. He sees you.

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!

On this episode of We Are More Than Moms, Dale sits down with her sister, Jessica Dawson, for an intimate and deeply personal conversation about her journey through motherhood, entrepreneurship, and resilience. Jessica opens up about the identity crisis she faced after having her first child—how it shook her sense of self and ultimately led her to pursue something entirely her own: a candy business that, despite its success now, wasn't always smooth sailing. She shares what kept her going through the ups and downs of building a business while navigating motherhood, as well as the heartbreak of experiencing multiple miscarriages while trying to conceive her second child. 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.
