Together, we reflect on how our grief has evolved over the years and how motherhood—five years after loss—continues to take on new meaning. We talk about the reality of running a “grief business,” what it means to mother an angel long-term, and how we continue to redefine ourselves while keeping their memory close.Find her website here: https://alexandraandwells.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandraandwells/Find your loss posse at LossLink.comAll my resources are on KatherineLazar.com and @thekatherinelazar *************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.Inside this episode:What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to returnHow she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body's wisdomThe support she found in a community of sovereign mothersWhat labor with twins looked like at homeThe double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospitalThe freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereigntyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:59] Two miscarriages and lack of support and answers from the medical system[07:05] Receiving news of a third unviable pregnancy and deciding not to take the pill[09:02] Discovering that the medical system was wrong about her third pregnancy, and that her baby was alive and healthy in her womb[11:19] Birthing her first son in a birthing center with a midwife, forced interventions, a fourth degree tear, and newborn separation[21:36] Postpartum hospital trauma, overreactions and threats[25:15] Another miscarriage and humiliating hospital treatment[32:13] Finding out she was pregnant with twins, midwife refusing to provide care, and choosing freebirth[1:00:00] Freebirthing her twins at home with her husband and birth attendant presentIf you want to connect more with Nicole, follow her on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

Listener discretion is advised.In this powerful episode of Nurse Converse, host Jana Price sits down with psychiatric nurse Lora Smith and her attorney, Robert Rehkemper, for a raw conversation about workplace violence in healthcare. Lora recounts her heartbreaking experience of being assaulted by a patient — an attack that led to the loss of her long-awaited pregnancy — and the systemic failures that followed, from lack of security to retaliation by her employer.

MTHFR Stories are interviews with regular people who have MTHFR and are willing to share their health journey to help others. Mary's MTHFR journey centers around pregnancy loss with several second-trimester miscarriages and a stillbirth. She bravely talks about the exhaustion that she has struggled with after such a deep physical toll was taken on her body by the pregnancies, and the emotional journey she has been on. Mary has other issues associated with MTHFR as well including hypermobility and hypothyroidism, both of which contributed to her difficult pregnancies. Mary's journey is a reminder to women to advocate for themselves, not to blindly trust it when your doctor says "it's normal," and to do their own research about recommendations, such as 5 mg of folic acid for women struggling with infertility who also have MTHFR gene mutations. 00:46 - Mary and MTHFR01:46 - Hypermobility and MTHFR02:29 - Bad reactions to methylfolate (migraines)03:15 - More about hypermobility04:14 - Pregnancy loss and infertility with MTHFR06:04 - Hypothyroidism, MTHFR and stillbirth06:53 - Nutritional deficiencies08:05 - MTHFR is linked to all of these - infertility, multiple pregnancy loss, hypermobility, and hypothyroidism.09:04 - Raising awareness for women10:15 - Emotional impact of pregnancy loss11:30 - The societal value of childless women12:25 - problems with 5mg folic acid as a fertility intervention with MTHFRHere is a link to Mary's full-length interview: https://youtu.be/kw3srswszyEThanks so much for watching!

This week, Ali sits down with Savannah Bisby, who shares her infertility story on IG @infertilityfriends, to talk about Savannah's journey so far. She's still in the thick of it, battling endometriosis, doing five IUIs (including double inseminations), a laparoscopy, and taking a deep dive into reproductive immunology. Savannah talks about the emotional whiplash of infertility, including embryo transfer decisions and finding herself on a bachelorette party while waiting for beta results, suspended between hope and dread. Savannah also talks about how Inito, an at-home fertility monitor that tracks your hormones, has helped on her journey, how she finally became pregnant and navigated a devastating loss, and why the summer of 2025 became a heartbreak she and her husband will never forget.

Today I pull back the curtain on an often-overlooked aspect of fertility: your partner's sperm health. In this episode, I dive into how sperm quality can profoundly influence placental development, affect the risk of miscarriage, and shape your baby's long-term health. You'll also discover why hearing “everything is normal” from your doctor isn't always the final word and why traditional labs miss the subtle, yet important, nuances hidden beneath the surface, especially in men who appear healthy and do all the right things.   Episode Highlights: Nora is back from her summer break and shares what's new — including an exciting return of one of her fertility coaching offers. Why men's sperm quality and quantity are declining, and what does it mean for fertility? Nora digs into the surprising factors most people overlook. Sperm does more than deliver DNA, discover its hidden role in shaping early pregnancy from the very start including the placenta Could poor sperm health be quietly contributing to miscarriage risk? Nora unpacks the science you may not have heard. Practical steps you can take right now: how advanced testing and a deeper look at “optimal health” (not just normal ranges) may transform fertility outcomes.

Nora and Craig are back behind the microphones after learning over their break that they'd lost a long awaited pregnancy. This episode dives into the realities of miscarriage. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. While Nora and Craig are still very much processing this profound grief, they have found strength, gratitude, and inspiration through sharing their experience with their Fred Family. It is their intention with this episode to bring awareness and hope to anyone effected by this all too common, but rarely discussed tragedy from both of their perspectives.A Note from Nora:I tried to recount as much as I could in this episode, but one thing I didn't or couldn't get into is how it's impossible to not feel responsible for your miscarriage. Even though your rational brain knows and your medical team has explained to you “this was not your fault”, your irrational brain needs to blame something. Someone. The "what ifs" and the “what did I do wrong” anxiety grips you all day, and worse at night when the cycling replays what just happened, amplified by the darkness and silence. What I had just experienced would come spinning: the sadness in the ultrasound tech's voice, staring at our baby on the screen, the grief, the sea of confusion while a midwife explains how you're not pregnant anymore even though you still are, the surgery, and over and over and over. One night my combat veteran husband woke up to me crying over the "what ifs" anxiety and events replaying in my head. “Yeah babe, that's called trauma”. The silence and expectation to quickly move on during this multiple week process when you're still actively recovering, physically and mentally, is wild. I hope the more we talk about it, the more it changes. And the expectation will be more about comfort and care with understanding rather then pushing through and forcing ourselves to be okay for the sake of everyone else's comfort. This experience has widened my eyes to the true meaning and power of community. Thank you. I'll never cease to be amazed by women's strength. Visit our Website : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fredtheafghan.com/stubbornlypositive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon Pack for Video Episodes and so much more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/StubbornlyPositive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram! @StubbornlyPositive

Are you apologising for your prices? Working for less than you're worth? Giving away your depth for free because you can't figure out how to put a price tag on transformation? You're not alone - and the statistics are more staggering than you think. In this eye-opening episode, Sharna breaks down the research showing that women charge 21-26% less than men in freelance markets, and a shocking 28% less as entrepreneurs. But for women in sensitive niches like pregnancy loss, grief work, and trauma support, the gap runs even deeper. What You'll Learn: The shocking statistics behind women's undercharging (and why it's worse in healing spaces) Why the "sensitive niche penalty" compounds traditional gender wage gaps The nervous system programming that keeps you stuck in undervaluation cycles How cultural conditioning around "caring work" sabotages your pricing The Sacred Economics framework that transforms your relationship with value Why your lived experience IS specialized expertise worth premium investment Key Takeaways: Your conscious integration of lived experience creates more sophisticated understanding than traditional training alone Undercharging isn't generous - it's participating in systems that devalue healing work Sacred Economics means pricing your medicine to honor both transformation and sustainability You can't out-price your nervous system - the internal work must happen alongside external changes Quotes from This Episode: "Your lived experience isn't just your story - it's specialized expertise that can literally save someone years of suffering." "You cannot out-price or out-build your nervous system. If your body doesn't feel safe holding the value of your medicine, you'll sabotage your own pricing every time." "When you undercharge, you're not just hurting yourself financially. You're participating in a system that devalues emotional and healing work."

Diana Wassef is a Lebanese-Egyptian living in upstate New York with her lovely husband Patrick and two furry creatures Qi-Qi & Umpa. Her work centers on menstrual cycle awareness, natural fertility, and cyclical living as a path to deeper embodiment. She guides women toward reconnecting with their inner rhythm, and runs Cremona Studios — a sustainable fashion label rooted in the phases of the cycle and the stories woven within them.We begin our conversation hearing about Diana's background, her love for Lebabon and why she left. After suffering for most of her life with painful menstrual cycles, she at last finds a course that awakens her to a new relationship to her cycle and cyclical living. She shares about the 4 phase cycle and how this awareness transformed her life. After years of building this new relationship and some additional training, she now supports women who are seeking a deeper relationship with their cycle, whether it be because of the inherent beauty of it, or because of a specific need to balance things out or support a fertility journey. Diana shares honestly about her own fertility journey and the two pregnancy losses she's experienced in this past year. We get a little personal together about these loses we've both experienced and how we hope having these conversations will help to normalize the discussion around pregnancy loss to better support those experiencing it.We also dip into her clothing line, and how she went from a goth designer to one aligned with the seasons of the menstrual cycle.

In this episode, my ATL Loss Mama friend, Lara, tells us about her sweet 1st son Malek who passed at 28 weeks. She has since had her 2nd son Sami who is turning 1. Lara has a rare autoimmune disorder which could possibly play a part in her pregnancies. However, there just isn't much research or information out there. We discuss warning signs, not knowing what they were, lack of information during pregnancy and what that means for subsequent ones. We hope this shines some light for anyone dealing with similar disease and wanting to bring home living babies. Find Lara on IG at @lara.aqel Find your loss posse on LossLink.com! *************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

"The Missing Piece - What Your Training Didn't Teach About Pregnancy Loss" There's a gap in how we support pregnancy loss that's leaving both practitioners and bereaved mothers feeling inadequate.

Whether you're a trained professional who freezes when pregnancy loss enters your practice, or a loss mother who knows you're meant to support others but feels underequipped, this episode exposes what nobody teaches about pregnancy loss - and why the current approach is systemically failing the 1 in 4 pregnancies which end in loss. What You'll Discover:

What does it mean to risk love again—after loss, heartbreak, and the disorientating grief that follows? In this incredibly tender and powerful conversation, I'm joined by Stephanie Duncan Smith, author of Even After Everything, to talk about the kind of spiritual confusion that often follows personal loss—particularly pregnancy loss. Stephanie shares how, after experiencing a miscarriage, her faith didn't disappear—but it did change its shape. Together, we explore how to stay grounded in God's love even when your emotions feel muted, your prayers feel flat, or your sense of spiritual connection feels off. Whether you've experienced loss or walked alongside someone who has, this episode is an invitation into honest faith and the sacred practice of hope. This episode explores: Why spiritual numbness is a natural response to pain What it looks like to grieve without having to fake it How to handle deep pain during seasons that are supposed to be joyful Why naming your loss honestly can help you heal How Stephanie processed the grief of pregnancy loss

Nobody has a personality anymore. At least, that's what Em Vernem thinks, and she's not alone. In writer Freya India's Substack Girls, India critiques the diagnostic lense through which we see the world, and it's seriously blown our minds. The Salt Path, a heartbreaking 2018 memoir adapted into a hugely successful movie and marketed as 'unflinchingly true', is making headlines this week. Because the truth seems to have been stretched. So what's with memoirs where 'recollections may vary'? And does it really matter? Plus, Jessie has some heartbreaking news she wants to share. And our recommendations, including the show that held Mia's attention for 10 hours, a stunning novel by a NYT bestseller, and an action movie Em thinks everyone should watch. Recommendations Mia recommends Too Much and Drive to Survive on Netflix. Jessie recommends The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Em recommends Head of State on Amazon Prime Video.

This is one of the most vulnerable episodes I've ever shared. But I believe in soulful conversations, especially the ones that are tender, real, and sometimes too painful that we avoid sharing them out loud.  Because this is where healing begins. Vulnerability connects us all. And sometimes it's these challenging conversations that need to be shared not shied away from.  This is what sacred leadership looks like. Earlier this year, I experienced a pregnancy loss. It was heartbreaking. And now I am pregnant with our healthy second baby and we're over the moon.  And now, I'm ready to speak publicly about it all.  I hope this is a space to speak honestly about the grief, the healing, and the courage it takes to hold both loss and life in the same breath.   In this episode, I share:

After losing her first daughter Lily at birth, Lexi set out to feel it all. To her it was important for her to lean into her pain, her grief, and her motherhood to a baby no longer here.

In this heartfelt episode, Sarah shares the emotional journey she and her husband took as they followed a deep calling to adopt an older child. Along the way, they experienced two unexpected pregnancies—both ending in miscarriage just weeks apart. Through the heartbreak, hope, and healing, Sarah discovered a powerful truth: everyone's path to family is different, and no one should have to live up to someone else's expectations. This episode is a moving reminder that there is no one “right” way to build a family—and that choosing your own way is more than enough.Follow us on IG for more:https://www.instagram.com/spillinitpodcast?igsh=MWM1ZTZncDBiczZ4Mg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrhttps://www.instagram.com/thecortreport?igsh=NWxsaDdkOXRhbm56&utm_source=qrhttps://www.instagram.com/grayed_early?igsh=MWRwZ2VodzRmaHZuNA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrhttps://www.instagram.com/choose_happiness24_7?igsh=YXFia3NvNnp5Zms4Have an inspiring story you would like to share?

In this deeply insightful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we welcome back Dr. Sami, Fertility Consultant at Plan Your Baby, to unpack a vital but often overlooked factor in recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy loss: blood clotting disorders, also known as thrombophilias. Dr. Sami explains: What inherited and acquired clotting disorders are How conditions like Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin mutations, and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) dramatically increase the risk of miscarriage Why APS is one of the most treatable causes of miscarriage with aspirin and heparin therapy The shocking statistic: with proper treatment, miscarriage rates can drop from 80% to just 20% Why many women are told "everything is normal"—and why that may be far from the truth What you can and should ask for if you've had two or more miscarriages The difference in treatment approaches between NHS vs private fertility care In this episode, we discuss: Recurrent miscarriage causes and treatments Blood clotting and pregnancy loss APS and miscarriage Factor V Leiden miscarriage risk Miscarriage and low-dose aspirin Heparin in pregnancy Fertility consultant insights Blood thinning medication in pregnancy Safe treatments for preventing miscarriage Plan Your Baby fertility support Whether you've been through pregnancy loss or are supporting someone who has, this episode offers hope, science, and practical steps toward your next healthy pregnancy.

Kaitlyn Braun spun an elaborate web of lies, convincing over 50 doulas she was pregnant after a traumatic assault. Her deception confused and shattered trust in the doula community, leaving many unsure if they could continue their work. Journalist Sarah Treleaven spent over eighteen months investigating Kaitlyn’s unusual story and the motives behind it. She brought these stories to life in her podcast, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby, where she details speaking to the doulas who were tricked, lied to and left disturbed by Kaitlyn's actions. The question remains: why did Kaitlyn do it — and is her deception finally over? Listen to The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby here. Warning. This story and this opening scene feature descriptions of pregnancy loss and stillbirth.

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.
