What is the mental health impact of early pregnancy loss and miscarriage—and how long can that impact last? New research examining pregnancy loss before 24 weeks brings together evidence from 18 systematic reviews, 379 studies, and nearly 192,000 people.In this solo episode of Finding Hope After Loss, I break down what the research found about grief after miscarriage, miscarriage grief, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and the emotional impact of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and molar pregnancy. We also talk about invisible loss, disenfranchised grief, why early pregnancy loss is so often minimized, and how pregnancy loss can change the way someone views themselves and future pregnancies.Whether you're coping with pregnancy loss, navigating pregnancy after loss, supporting someone after an early miscarriage, or trying to understand your own grief, this episode offers research-backed insight, validation, and a conversation about finding hope while still honoring your loss.
Trying to conceive can affect so much more than your fertility. It can change your sex life, create resentment, bring old trauma and insecurities to the surface, and leave couples feeling more like roommates than partners. In this episode, Dr. Leah breaks down some of the most common relationship dynamics she sees during a difficult TTC or infertility journey, including the project manager and avoider, silent grievers, sex on schedule, and the unequal burden dynamic. She also shares practical ways to communicate your needs, involve your partner, protect intimacy, shift unhealthy patterns, and create a stronger foundation for the parenthood you're working toward. Most importantly, if trying to conceive has changed your relationship, you're not alone, and it doesn't mean your relationship is doomed.00:00 Trailer + Intro01:43 How Trying to Conceive Can Affect Your Relationship02:47 When TTC Starts Changing Your Relationship05:07 When Sex Becomes a Chore06:43 The Vicious Cycle of Libido and Disconnection10:06 How Hard Times Bring Old Wounds to the Surface11:43 When Fertility Changes the Relationship Dynamic16:04 The Project Manager and the Avoider18:39 Give Your Partner the Map20:06 The Silent Grievers21:13 Sex on Schedule and Unequal Burden25:35 The Hidden Grief of Trying to Conceive27:30 The Micro-Griefs Women Carry30:32 When Your Partner Doesn't Know How to Show Up33:05 Creating the Support You Actually Need35:30 Reconnecting With Joy and Your Identity37:46 Giving Your Partner a Clear Role41:37 Letting Go of Control43:48 Protecting Polarity and Connection49:28 What Your Partner Can Actually Do51:50 Protecting Your Relationship During TTC55:07 Breaking the Resentment and Disconnection Cycle57:27 Getting Support and Processing the Hard Stuff60:44 Building a Stronger Foundation for Parenthood63:03 You Are Not AloneResources From This Chapter: The Queen's Code book by Alison Armstrong - https://www.amazon.com/Queens-Code-Alison-Armstrong/dp/B01DAYC348/The Queen's Code Podcast Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Kx1WKOBj6ByS9BWrMm3fH?si=afc6a448f29a40a1 Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond
What role can genetics play when you're planning for a future pregnancy—and how does genetic testing compare to embryo testing during IVF?In this episode of Finding Hope After Loss, I sit down with the founders of Reticular to talk about the evolving science of genetics, fertility, and pregnancy loss. We discuss genetic testing before pregnancy, genetic factors related to embryo viability, and how Reticular's approach differs from embryo genetic testing during IVF, including PGT-A.We also talk about what these different types of testing can and cannot tell you, who may want to consider genetic testing, and how having more information can help individuals and couples make informed decisions as they navigate infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, IVF, or trying to conceive after loss.This conversation offers a closer look at reproductive genetics and the options available for families looking toward a future pregnancy while navigating grief, healing, and finding hope after loss.
In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my oldest friends, Katie DeLuca Arundel, to talk about our friendship over the years and how we've supported one another through it all. She clears the air about why so little of what she filmed for Bravo's In The City made it to air, her friendship with Amanda, & what it felt like to be torn apart online before viewers had ever heard her speak. Katie also shares honestly about what she was navigating behind the scenes: two missed miscarriages, the physical and emotional toll it's taken on her, and how she's holding grief and genuine happiness for her friends at the same time.

She has just given birth after 32 hours of labour. Third degree tears. A baby in the NICU. And a security guard who tells her — as her husband attempts to wheel her out of the hospital — that she cannot take the wheelchair. It can't leave hospital grounds. Figure it out. That moment, she says, became the image that defined her entire career. Because once the baby is out, it is as though the mother disappears. Atara is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years in the mental health field, a certified integrative practitioner, and a mother of four — three of whom were NICU babies. Her work sits at the intersection of holistic healing, nervous system regulation, minerals and brain health, and postpartum support. She is also one of the most articulate voices I have encountered on what is actually happening inside the body when a woman cannot seem to move through her grief — and why. This conversation goes somewhere most conversations don't. We talk about the biochemistry of getting stuck. About what happens at a cellular level when trauma enters the body and the nervous system decides it is not yet safe to let the guard down. About why the calcium spikes. Why the magnesium can't get in. Why your body is not failing you — it is protecting you. And what it actually takes to move through that, not just talk about it. We also talk about the gap between what the medical system offers and what women actually need. About why talk therapy, as valuable as it is, is only ever engaging one part of the brain. And about why the body is sending 80% of the signals in this conversation — not the brain. If you have ever felt stuck in your grief and wondered why — this episode is for you. In this episode we cover: Atara's own story — three NICU babies, a gap in postpartum care, and the moment that shaped her life's work Why our culture treats the mother as invisible once the baby arrives — and how that plays out in pregnancy loss The shame–isolation loop and why connection (the right kind) is not optional in healing Why talk therapy alone cannot access where reproductive trauma is stored in the body The biochemistry of staying stuck — what happens when calcium spikes after trauma, why the protective shell forms, and what needs to shift for the body to feel safe again The role of magnesium and potassium in emotional regulation and nervous system calm How physical symptoms — disrupted sleep, shallow breathing, altered posture, blunted affect — are expressions of biochemical dysregulation, not separate problems The 80/20 communication ratio: why the body sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the body Why you cannot detox, heal, or regulate from inside a chronic stress state The 1% shift — how Atara approaches change with clients who are already overwhelmed Connect with Atara: Instagram: @atara.parkinson NICU & birth trauma focus: @nicufreedom Website: https://www.ataraparkinson.com/ Resources mentioned: The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk (heads up: it's a heavy read, but an important one) Connect with Sharna Find me here: @reproductivelossleadership If today's conversation resonated with you, I'd love to stay connected.

What happens when the life you envisioned for yourself doesn't happen according to plan?On this live episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Dr. Marline C. Duroseau, affectionately known as “Dr. Mar,” for a deeply personal conversation about infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, motherhood, and the hidden struggles women can carry behind professional success.Dr. Mar opens up about navigating infertility while building her career, losing her daughter Angel, and grieving more than a pregnancy—the expectations, timelines, and version of life she once imagined.We'll also explore her research on the lived infertility experiences of women in leadership roles and what workplaces need to better understand about women navigating fertility challenges while maintaining demanding careers.Her journey ultimately became part of the inspiration behind her memoir, It'll Happen By 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith | Delayed But Not Denied. We'll talk about what happens when 30 comes and goes, life takes a different direction, and you have to redefine what success, motherhood, and fulfillment look like for yourself.This conversation is about infertility, but it's also about something many of us understand: grieving the timeline we thought our lives would follow and learning how to embrace the life unfolding in front of us.Connect with Portia: https://linktr.ee/portiabkrConnect with Dr. Mar: https://mcdbe.com/Join us for The Colors of Our Grief at Kent State: https://www.kent.edu/cci/colors-our-griefInterested in being a future guest on Groove with Portia?Send your story or interview pitch to: portiatheproducer@gmail.com

Can support groups really help after pregnancy loss? A new systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether community-based psychosocial support—including support groups, counseling, peer support, and online communities—can help parents coping with pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, and other forms of perinatal loss.In this solo episode of Finding Hope After Loss, I break down what the research found, what it didn't find, and why these findings matter for bereaved parents. We explore the role of emotional support after pregnancy loss, discuss the study's limitations, and talk about why finding the right community can be an important part of coping with pregnancy loss, grief after miscarriage, and finding hope after the unimaginable.Whether you're navigating miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, pregnancy after loss, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers evidence-based insights, compassionate encouragement, and practical resources to remind you that you don't have to walk this journey alone.
If this episode named something in you, I want you to know there's a next step. Loss to Legacy is my four-week immersion for practitioners who know they're called to support women through pregnancy loss, but haven't yet found the clarity, the viability, or the roadmap to actually build it. Over four weeks, we work through exactly that — your specific vision, whether it holds up, and a 12-month plan you can actually follow. Loss to Legacy opens for a new intake on 4th August. Five spots. If you're ready to stop sitting with the idea, send me the word LEGACY and let's talk about the role you're here to play. DM me HERE In this episode, Jennifer shares her story with unflinching honesty: the impossible decisions made in shock (do you hold your baby? do you take photos?), the guilt that follows women for years after, and the physical reality no one prepares you for — a body that keeps producing milk for babies who aren't coming home. She spent nearly seven years running from her grief before it caught up with her, eroding her marriage and her health, until she finally chose to face it. Now a certified coach and founder of Navigating Baby Loss, Jennifer helps bereaved mothers release guilt, rebuild trust in their bodies, and find their way back to hope — including the complicated, fear-laced hope of a future pregnancy. Sharna Southan hosts this conversation, exploring the parts of stillbirth and baby loss that rarely get airtime. We talk about: What actually happens in the hours after a stillbirth diagnosis, and why there's no "right" way to handle it Why guilt is one of the heaviest and most persistent emotions in baby loss How grief lives in the body, not just the mind — and can resurface years later, unannounced Why relationships often buckle under the weight of loss (and the startling statistic on stillbirth and separation) The difference between therapy and grief-informed coaching, and why lived experience matters What to actually say (and not say) to someone living through this Why there's no timeline for healing, and why "you'll have another one" is never the answer This is a raw, generous conversation about a topic that doesn't get talked about nearly enough — and a reminder that no one should have to navigate this kind of grief alone. About Jennifer Senn Jennifer Senn is a certified coach, the founder of Navigating Baby Loss, and mom to twin daughters who were stillborn at 32 weeks. She helps bereaved mothers release guilt, overcome isolation, and move through overwhelming grief — empowering them to find peace and hope for a future that may include the joy of a new baby, with less fear and more confidence.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Contact, Channeling, and the Human Story of Disclosure Alan Steinfeld speaks with Jess Herman about childhood contact memories, hybrid-program experiences, channeling the Vagrions, multidimensional identity, and how disclosure may expand humanity's understanding of consciousness. Guest Spotlight: Jess Herman Jess Herman is a channel, contactee, and creator connected with the channeled collective she identifies as the Vagrions. In this conversation, she shares deeply personal accounts of childhood contact memories, psychic abilities, hybrid-program experiences, channeling, pranic healing, and her mission to help people move toward unity consciousness, radical self-acceptance, and trust in their own joy. Consciousness, Contact, and the Beginning of Jess's Story In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld introduces the program as an exploration of consciousness, UFO phenomena, contactees, and the possibility that contact itself may be part of human evolution. He welcomes Jess Herman, describing her as one of his favorite people and noting that she channels the Vagrions while also appearing to have contactee experiences. Jess begins by explaining that she does not remember a childhood before contact. Her parents framed her early experiences as vivid dreams, but she now sees them as something more structured, recurring, and unusual. Childhood Experiences, Psychic Training, and the Grays Jess describes childhood memories in Montreal where time seemed to slow, the street outside her window became strangely still, and she would later find herself in sterile, hospital-like environments with other children. She compares some of these memories to later depictions in shows such as Stranger Things, especially scenes involving children practicing psychic abilities. Jess says the experiences felt organized, like a program with structure and purpose, and recalls being around other children as well as beings she identifies as grays. She explains that memories of medical-style procedures were frightening, partly because of the coldness and lack of emotional interaction she felt from the beings involved. Hybrid Children, Pregnancy Loss, and Psychic Disclosure A major part of the conversation centers on Jess's belief that she was involved in a hybrid program. She describes experiences beginning around age sixteen and later connects them to pregnancies, miscarriages, and what she believes were hybrid children or beings connected to her. Jess recounts one pregnancy that medically appeared to be developing before the fetus was no longer found, and another pregnancy involving twins in which one baby later disappeared. She says she was psychically informed that her body had been used as part of a program, that she had “signed up” for this work, and that the beings involved later allowed her to step away from the hybrid-program role. Channeling the Vagrions and the Mission of Self-Acceptance Jess explains that channeling came naturally to her, as though it was something she already knew how to do. She connects this ease with earlier training, psychic ability, and healing experiences, including her discovery of pranic healing. Her mission with the Vagrions is described as sharing messages of unity consciousness and radical self-acceptance. Jess says the Vagrions emphasize following joy, trusting the self, appreciating each person's unique individuation, and dissolving insecurity around worthiness and love. In her view, if enough people stepped into their power and made more fulfilling choices, many of the world's problems could shift within a generation. Multidimensional Identity, ET Contact, and the Nature of Reality Alan and Jess explore contact through a broader metaphysical lens, discussing starseeds, Arcturian and Pleiadian connections, mantis beings, nonverbal autistic children, telepathy, parallel dimensions, and the idea that people may exist simultaneously in more than one form or realm. Jess describes herself as having interactions that feel like going to a ship, waiting in a room, and meeting with beings in a corporate or boardroom-like setting. She also shares missing-time experiences, including one while driving near Lake Placid and another in Malta near ancient cart tracks. These stories become part of a larger discussion about how the self may exist both inside time and outside it, with the physical body understood as one expression of a much larger essence. Disclosure, Creation, and Learning to Stay Calm Around Contact The conversation eventually turns toward the historical moment of disclosure and the possibility that humanity is meeting the unknown in a new way. Jess and Alan discuss how alien contact, consciousness, time, physicality, creativity, and manifestation may all be part of the same unfolding story. Jess emphasizes that creation does not have to be a struggle, and that people are already creating reality through their perspective and assumptions. She also advises listeners who want more contact experiences to become emotionally steady around the subject, because fear or overexcitement may signal that a person is not yet ready for deeper interaction. Jess's Work, Website, and Closing Connection Near the close, Jess points listeners to JPHerman.com, her YouTube material, and her podcast Some Kind of Mystic, where she interviews channels, healers, and spiritually focused guests. Alan and Jess reflect on their immediate sense of recognition and connection, framing it as part of the larger contactee and consciousness field they have been discussing. Alan thanks Jess for her insights, her dedication, and her contribution to human evolution, while the program closes with a poetic musical outro reflecting the episode's themes of mystery, contact, trauma, consciousness, and the future of human understanding.
In this episode, Dr. Baron sits down with Naomi Nachman, a well-known kosher food personality, author, and travel connoisseur, to discuss her personal experience with pregnancy loss from years ago. She shares the story of her second pregnancy, only to discover at a routine five-month checkup that her baby no longer had a heartbeat. This conversation explores the intersection of faith and medical trauma, highlighting Naomi's deep-rooted bitachon (faith) that continues to carry her through life-changing moments. Naomi Nachman reflects on one of the most painful chapters of her journey: continuing to carry her pregnancy after learning she had lost her baby. She shares how leaning on her faith helped her move through everyday interactions with strength, and how it became a source of peace during an unimaginably difficult time. If you are carrying a heavy grief from many years ago or navigating the intersection of faith and medical trauma, this episode is for you.

Cabinet has approved plans to introduce five days paid leave to anyone who suffers a pregnancy loss before 23 weeks. This will also include women who have a termination in the case of fatal foetal abnormality or those who have an abortion up to 12 weeks. Speaking to Anton to discuss this and more was Enterprise Minister and Fine Gael TD for Longford-Westmeath Peter Burke.
In this moving listener story, Carmen shares her complicated journey through pregnancy loss, recurrent miscarriage, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), traumatic births, emergency deliveries, and ultimately building the family she always dreamed of. As a mother of 12 babies, five Earthside and seven who are no longer physically here, Carmen offers a powerful perspective on grief, resilience, and what it means to continue mothering children who have died.Throughout this conversation, Carmen opens up about the realities of pregnancy after loss, the emotional toll of carrying grief through multiple pregnancies, and the complicated intersection of gratitude and trauma. Her story is one of profound love, heartbreaking decisions, and the ongoing process of learning how to carry both joy and sorrow at the same time.In This Episode, We Discuss:
There was a time when I thought surviving a stillbirth meant I had already lived through the worst thing imaginable. Then I miscarried. In this episode, I'm sharing what I learned from experiencing a miscarriage after stillbirth—and why it challenged so much of what I thought I knew about grief, hope, healing, and myself. This isn't a chronological retelling of what happened. It's an honest conversation about the lessons that came from losing another baby: why you never become "used to" loss, how trauma changes the way your body experiences pregnancy, why hope can feel terrifying after heartbreak, and how rebuilding a life doesn't mean leaving your babies behind. Whether you've experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, or any kind of profound loss, I hope this episode reminds you that healing isn't linear, grief evolves, and it's possible to carry both heartbreak and hope at the same time. We'll talk about: • Why every pregnancy loss is different—even after stillbirth. • How trauma shapes future pregnancies and the waiting that comes with them. • The surprising ways grief changes over time. • Why protecting your heart isn't the same as giving up hope. • What rebuilding your life has taught me after losing two babies. If you've ever wondered whether you'll be able to hope again after loss, this episode is for you. Find my NEW BOOK on Amazon!

I hate when people say we are "Overprotective"...No, that's not it. We are SUPER AWARE of what can happen. This means we know the potential outcomes, we take necessary steps to prevent, we know what we can control and what we can't, we have a plan in place if something bad happens, we are no longer ignorant. We are experienced....unwantingly so... We come from a loss lens. We see things differently now. We have had the unimaginable happen to us and to our babies. Now what? Well, now we look at things through awareness. We can read situations, people, things, ourselves, etc. I hate it here but here we are. If you are navigating anything in this life, especially parenting after loss, I hope this helps. You are doing your best, through all the spirals, meltdowns, anxiety, panic attacks, sheer fear, you're amazing. Keep going, I got you, I'm right there with you... Find my NEW BOOK on Amazon!

Progesterone is one of the most important hormones for fertility, healthy ovulation, and sustaining early pregnancy, yet so many women are never taught how it actually works.In this episode, Dr. Leah and Dr. Morgan sit down with fertility nutritionist Sophia Pavia to break down the truth about low progesterone, luteal phase defects, ovulation quality, and why so many women today are struggling with hormone imbalances, infertility, and pregnancy loss.We unpack how progesterone is made, why ovulation is essential for healthy hormone balance, what “unopposed estrogen” really means, and the signs your luteal phase may need support. Sophia also explains why conventional medicine can be hesitant about progesterone supplementation, when it may be appropriate, and how nutrition, stress, blood sugar balance, and cycle tracking can help support stronger ovulation and healthier progesterone production naturally.If you're trying to conceive, navigating recurrent loss, or simply want to better understand your hormones, this episode is packed with practical education and empowering insight.00:00 Intro + Sophia Returns To The Podcast01:24 Why Low Progesterone Matters for Fertility02:34 Why So Many Women Struggle with Progesterone Today13:17 How PCOS, Endometriosis & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Affect Progesterone15:49 How Progesterone Is Actually Made in the Body19:59 Estrogen vs Progesterone: What Balance Really Means25:49 Can You Have a Weak Ovulation?33:40 Egg Quality vs Progesterone: Which Comes First?35:24 Why Doctors Often Hesitate to Prescribe Progesterone41:59 When Progesterone Supplementation May Help46:16 Signs Your Luteal Phase Needs Support47:56 How to Support Progesterone Naturally50:42 Where to Find Sophia + Final EncouragementResources From This Episode:Sophia's Website - https://www.ttcnutritionist.com/Follow Sophia on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ttc.nutritionistOther Related Episodes:Episode #31: The Power of Progesterone - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-as-a-mother/id1663942916?i=1000625679300Episode #108: Surviving a Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy with Sophia Pavia - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-as-a-mother/id1663942916?i=1000703730128Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

In this powerful episode, Laura Corcoran, CEO and Founder of Dignity Care, shares the deeply personal experience that drove her to invent the Miscarriage Collection Cradle, a patented Class I medical device designed to bring practical support and dignity to women managing miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Laura walks through the realities of home miscarriage management, the need for reliable collection for cytogenetic testing, and how gaps in standard care can compound trauma. The conversation explores how she translated an unmet need into a scalable product—rapid NHS adoption, health-economic evidence showing major system savings, and the stakeholder strategy required to drive change from hospitals to Parliament. Laura also discusses FDA clearance and plans for U.S. launch, and closes with advice for innovators: obsess over understanding the problem, and the right solution will follow.Laura Corcoran LinkedInDignity Care Network WebsiteDuane Mancini LinkedInProject Medtech WebsiteProject Medtech LinkedInThank you to our sponsors: Ward Law and JumpStart Inc.

Pregnancy loss and baby loss affect far more families than many of us realise, yet these experiences are still often surrounded by silence, misunderstanding and stigma. In this episode, I'm joined by Sands, the UK's leading pregnancy and baby loss charity, to explore the realities of loss and the impact it can have on individuals, families and working lives. Together, we discuss why pregnancy and baby loss can feel so difficult to talk about, the hidden impact of grief in the workplace, and what managers, colleagues and organisations can do to provide meaningful support. In this episode, we explore: Why pregnancy loss and baby loss remain hidden experiences The emotional impact of loss and grief Returning to work whilst navigating loss How colleagues and managers can offer compassionate support Common responses that may unintentionally cause harm What a pregnancy-loss-aware workplace looks like Practical ways organisations can better support employees through loss Whether you're a leader, colleague, friend or family member, this conversation offers valuable insights into how we can create more understanding and compassionate workplaces for those affected by pregnancy and baby loss.

WE'RE BACK! omg i'm sorry y'all, life has been lifing! The book launched, my living son turned 3, we are showing our house to sell it, we are trying to expand out family, and i'm just living the grief dream! But I accidentally put the podcast aside, and I didn't even mean to...But it's back and it's not going anywhere!... My grief has changed because my life has changed and now at the 4.5 year mark, I want to talk about how normal life is with pain and joy at the same time. So this episode is about healing and how it's NOT a betrayal to our babies. It's so freakin hard you guys, like, the first year is suffocating and all we can do is survive, then we kind of come up for air and decide we want to try healing from this (which by the way, for me means, living and functioning happily with grief by my side always). How do we do that? Well that's the journey! I decided that I wanted to make Brody proud and live a life worth living. So I'm rebuilding and creating a life I love again. Healing is where it's at and that includes little joys, my family, friends, my mental health, creating a beautiful home, and a life I'm proud of. Coming with me?? I hope so! :) If you are new to Loss Life, please start the pod from the beginning.

Hosted by Lloyd Freeman, Chief Experience Officer, the podcast features meaningful conversations with industry and community leaders working to advance D&I.
Dr Clay and his wife experienced their own infertility journey, an experience that tested them deeply but ultimately brought them closer together.That outcome sparked a defining question: Why do some couples grow closer after infertility or pregnancy loss, while others grow apart?Pursuing this question, Dr. Clay studied more than 1,000 couples navigating infertility and reproductive loss. His findings identified four consistent factors—the Four Pillars of Connection—that predict resilience in relationships facing reproductive trauma.His research has informed clinical practice, been published in leading journals, and is now used by therapists and couples worldwide. To serve local clients, he founded Shiloh Counseling in Ballwin, Missouri, specializing in reproductive grief and relationship counseling.Dr. Clay Brigance, PhD, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor, researcher, and nationally recognized specialist in couple therapy for infertility and reproductive grief. He is the founder and clinical director of Shiloh Counseling, a group practice specializing in relationship therapy for couples navigating infertility, miscarriage, and perinatal loss. He is also the host of the podcast “Love and Infertility”.For over a decade, Dr. Brigance has worked almost exclusively with couples facing reproductive trauma. His clinical and research work has included more than 1,000 individuals and couples experiencing infertility and miscarriage, informing his integrative approach to treatment. He has published in some of the top journals for couples work, including Marriage and Family Therapy, Couple and Relationship Therapy, and The Family Journal, among others. His model draws from interpersonal mindfulness and evidence-based couple therapy approaches, including the Gottman Method and emotion-focused principles, to help couples reduce conflict, process grief, and rebuild emotional connection.Dr. Brigance is also a researcher examining the role of interpersonal mindfulness, stress biomarkers, and relational resilience in couples navigating infertility. His work seeks to better understand how couples can maintain closeness under chronic stress and how therapeutic interventions can foster long-term relational growth following reproductive loss.In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Brigance trains therapists nationally and speaks on the relational impact of infertility and reproductive grief. His work is deeply informed not only by research and clinical experience, but also by his own journey through infertility. As someone who has personally navigated the uncertainty, loss, and strain that reproductive grief can bring to a marriage, he brings a grounded empathy to his work that resonates with both clinicians and couples.Dr. Brigance lives in the St. Louis area with his family. His work is devoted to helping couples move from silent suffering toward connection, clarity, and resilient love in the face of disrupted dreams of parenthood.FIND HIM HERE:WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA: Website: https://www.drclaybrigance.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_claybrigance/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Shiloh-Counseling-LLC/100090955350701/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clayton-brigance-phd-lpc-99a4381a4/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.ClayBrigance/featured Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/326IpwHCa0diGyJIz4QgZj?si=51d3e3c2e386477a&nd=1&dlsi=1651f7262f41401b
National data shows Black women are about twice as likely as white women to experience stillbirth.
Sometimes after miscarriage, it can feel like you and your husband are grieving in completely different ways.You may be carrying the physical loss, the emotions, and the questions every single day… while he seems quiet, distant, or focused on everything else that needs to get done.But what if he is grieving too, just differently?In this episode of the Purpose Beyond Motherhood Podcast, Nicole sits down with author Eric Schumacher for an honest conversation about miscarriage, marriage, and the grief fathers often carry silently.We talk about: Why men and women often grieve differently after pregnancy loss How to create space for honest conversations in marriage What husbands may be feeling but struggling to say out loud Practical ways couples can support each other through grief How faith, lament, and the hope of Christ meet us in loss Eric also shares biblical encouragement for couples walking through miscarriage and reminds grieving parents that their baby mattered, their grief matters, and they do not have to carry it alone.This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply validating for both mothers and fathers navigating loss.Connect with Eric + Resources Mentioned Eric's website: https://emschumacher.com/ Dad's Hurt Too: A Father's Memoir of Miscarriage Ours: Biblical Comfort for Men Grieving Miscarriage Worthy: Celebrating the Value of WomenStart your monthly gift$12 for Twelve Giving Campaign Support + communityTwice-a-month virtual support group Twelve 12 MinistriesWebsiteShopInstagram + Facebook: @twelve12ministriesEmail: info@twelve12ministries.org
In this episode, Aimee sits down with Marla Rottenstreich, a fitness professional, doula, and COO of One Israel Fund. She opens up for the first time about her fertility journey, navigating a congenital uterine anomaly, pregnancy complications, and grief. This conversation is a vulnerable exploration of how deep medical trauma reshapes the path to parenthood. Marla opens up about being diagnosed at age 17 with a bicornuate uterus and told she would likely never have children. She describes overcoming that prognosis only to face the isolating grief of secondary infertility, three miscarriages, and the trauma of a third-trimester stillbirth. Through her powerful story, she highlights the importance of somatic movement, faith, and radical self-compassion to process trapped trauma and reclaim her agency. If you are navigating the difficult intersection of medical trauma, pregnancy loss, and family building, this episode offers a compassionate and grounded perspective filled with resilience and perseverance.

There are certain things about pregnancy loss and grief that people often don't fully understand until they experience it themselves.

Sophie Smith thought she was about to become a mother to three baby boys. Instead, after going into premature labour halfway through her pregnancy, she and her husband Ash found themselves facing unimaginable heartbreak. Over the course of 82 days, they lost all three of their triplets; Henry, Evan and Jasper. In this deeply moving conversation with Kate Langbroek, Sophie speaks about those months of hope and heartbreak, the grief that followed, and the extraordinary way she and Ash channelled that pain into purpose by founding Running for Premature Babies — a charity that has since helped save the lives of thousands of premature babies across Australia. Sophie also opens up about the second devastating loss that would change her life forever: losing Ash to brain cancer in 2016, after years of treatment and remission, and what it meant to continue raising their two young sons while carrying such enormous grief. This episode is about motherhood, resilience, love, loss, and the ways we learn to keep going even after life turns out nothing like we imagined.

What does maternal mental health actually look like for bereaved mothers? Not the Instagram version. The real one — with rage, and fear, and loving a child you can barely look at, while grieving another you'll never hold. Today I'm joined by Jayme Serbell, a writer and memoirist whose journey to parenthood spans 6 pregnancies, multiple losses including 3 early miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy that cost her a fallopian tube, a devastating twin pregnancy where she was faced with an impossible medical decision, a postpartum haemorrhage that nearly took her life, and a postpartum rage diagnosis that finally put language to something she'd been carrying alone. Jayme speaks with extraordinary honesty about the cumulative weight of loss — how grief compounds, how trauma travels into every pregnancy, every birth, every ordinary moment with a child you fought so hard to hold. And how, even after all of it, the healing happens — slowly, on its own timeline. In this episode we explore: How Jayme's second pregnancy connected the dots on an unrecognised first loss — and the disorientation of grieving both at once The way trying to conceive after recurrent loss stripped the intimacy out of one of the most intimate acts of her life The impossible decision she and her husband faced in her twin pregnancy, and what it meant to carry both boys — one living, one not — until birth The postpartum haemorrhage that left her separated from her newborn in the ICU, and how trauma from that birth shaped everything that followed What postpartum rage actually looks and feels like — and why the shame around it runs so deep How an ectopic misdiagnosis led to the loss of a fallopian tube and an entirely different kind of grief: anger at the system that failed her The way her losses compounded inside her postpartum experience — and why bereaved mothers are at higher risk that rarely gets named Trusting your body's knowing, firing doctors who dismiss you, and giving past versions of yourself the grace they deserved Jayme is currently writing a memoir about her journey to parenthood and writes at Jayme Shares Things on Substack.

In this episode, Megan shares her journey through recurrent pregnancy loss, chronic illness, medical trauma, and a life-threatening birth experience that led to her son's premature arrival. Her story sheds light on the complexities of pregnancy after loss, the realities of navigating the healthcare system with chronic conditions, and the lasting impact of birth trauma and a NICU stay.
What would you do if the pregnancy you carefully prepared for suddenly took an unexpected turn?In this powerful and deeply meaningful birth story, My Essential Birth Mama, Sarah, joins me to share the journey of her second pregnancy — one that began with a clear vision for a very different birth experience after a difficult first birth.Determined to do things differently, Sarah switched providers, chose midwifery care, hired a doula, and intentionally prepared both mentally and physically for the low-intervention birth she hoped to have. But during a routine ultrasound, everything changed.

Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this question-driven episode, we take a deep and thoughtful look at pregnancy loss, especially for patients who feel stuck after “normal” test results. We explore what additional evaluation options exist when standard workups don't provide answers and discuss how thinking outside the box can uncover overlooked causes. What testing can be considered after recurrent pregnancy loss with normal results? We discuss sperm DNA fragmentation testing, uterine evaluation with saline sonogram, and when to consider less obvious causes such as tubal factor, particularly in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss of unknown location or repeated very early losses. Could some early losses represent undiagnosed tubal pregnancies? We walk through that possibility and when it should be investigated. How does endometriosis impact implantation and miscarriage risk? We review the role of the Receptiva assay and BCL6 as a marker of inflammation that may contribute to failed implantation or early pregnancy loss, particularly in IVF cycles. We also explain how IVF can shift the “tipping point” by helping identify embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, which are common due to egg-related factors and increase with age. Why does time matter more as women get older? Each miscarriage can take months to resolve, delaying future attempts and compounding age-related fertility decline. Finally, we address the emotional toll of recurrent pregnancy loss and the importance of building resilience through counseling, journaling, and support systems.

We discuss how to improve hormone health at any age and the importance of fertility markers not just for pregnancy, but as a powerful window into overall health, vitality and longevity. We discuss hormone replacement therapy, egg freezing, IVF, and what biomarkers like AMH really indicate. Plus, how anti-inflammatory diets and specific supplements can be beneficial and the impact of microplastics and certain fragrances on hormones. We also discuss lesser-known factors that deplete male and female fertility, vitality and health.

Ronit and Vida are the founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement company born not from a business plan, but from heartbreak. Both experienced miscarriages around the same time and were given little to no answers from their doctors, so they decided to take matters into their own hands. What they discovered changed everything, including the fact that 50% of miscarriages are linked to sperm quality, something almost no one is talking about.In this episode we cover everything from why men need to be equal partners in the fertility journey, how to read a prenatal vitamin label, what "trimester zero" actually means, and why three months of preparation can dramatically change your outcome at any age. We also get into the emotional side of trying to conceive, the power of stress management, sleep, gratitude, and why going back to basics might be the most underrated fertility tool of all.Whether you're actively trying to conceive, freezing your eggs, going through IVF, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode is for you. And if you've ever felt dismissed by a doctor or alone in your fertility journey, I hope this conversation gives you the hope and the information you deserve.Connect with WeNatal:Website: https://wenatal.com/Blog: https://wenatal.com/blogs/wenatalInstagram: @we_natalConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com
