Podcasts about Pregnancy loss

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. Content note: This episode discusses miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, baby loss and grief.

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.

In this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman welcomes Jummy Kirby, Founder of Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting, to discuss the emotional and mental health needs that currently exist surrounding pregnancy loss, particularly for Black women.Jummy shares with Lloyd her personal journey with miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, which inspired her to create a therapeutic space for historically excluded communities. Their conversation covered the importance of using specific language such as “grief”, “trauma”, and “loss” to validate experiences, the different ways partners grieve, and the societal silence that often surrounds miscarriage.Dimensions of Diversity is a podcast created by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, highlighting diversity in the workplace. 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.

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. Faced with devastating news about her baby's health, Sarah and her husband had to navigate the emotional reality of carrying their son while not knowing how much time they would have with him.When labor began naturally at 31 weeks, something unexpected happened. Sarah experienced the calm, peaceful, unmedicated birth she had worked so hard to prepare for. After Benson was born, she and her husband were able to spend precious moments holding and loving their son, moments that would hold both heartbreak and healing.I'm so grateful Sarah was willing to come share Benson's story. This episode is about advocating for yourself in pregnancy, preparing for the birth you want, trusting your body, and finding meaning even in the hardest moments of motherhood.Here are some highlights from the episode:• Why Sarah chose to switch from an OB to a midwife after her first birth experience • How she and her husband prepared together for a different kind of birth • The daily mindset and physical preparation she focused on for an unmedicated birth • The routine ultrasound that revealed something unexpected about her baby • What it's like navigating pregnancy after receiving devastating news • How labor began naturally at 31 weeks • The peaceful, low-intervention birth experience she had hoped for • The precious moments they were able to spend holding and loving their son • How this birth brought both heartbreak and unexpected healing • Sarah's encouragement for mothers facing difficult pregnancy newsSarah's story is one that will stay with you long after the episode ends. It's a reminder that even when birth doesn't unfold the way we expect, it can still hold  love, meaning, and beauty.If this episode touches yourDon't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!Leave a Review! ⭐️ Here's how >> On Apple PodcastsFind “Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy” podcastSelect “Ratings and Reviews”Click the stars!Select “Write a Review” and tell us what was the most amazing, comforting, eye-opening thing that you loved! On SpotifyFind "Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy" podcastClick the 3 dots "..."Select "Rate podcast"Click the stars and write a quick review!FOLLOW "Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy" so you never miss an episode that makes pregnancy & birth feel easier!Here's how to do it in just 2 seconds:On Apple Podcasts → Tap the “+” Follow button in the top right corner of the show page.On Spotify → Tap the “Follow” button right under the show titlesLet's Connect!Join the Course! https://www.myessentialbirth.com/getstartedEmail: hello@myessentialbirth.com.  Follow @myessentialbirth on INSTAGRAM!

 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.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Jenny Kim as she shares the unimaginable story of losing her sweet son, Joey, at just six months old in a tragic accident in 2022. Jenny opens up about the devastating pain of child loss, the shock and trauma that followed, and the questions that can haunt a grieving parent.   As a medical professional, Jenny also speaks candidly about the added layer of heartbreak that came with being someone who was exceptionally careful, informed, and vigilant—yet still experiencing the unthinkable. We talk about the guilt, the “what ifs,” and the brutal reality that tragedy can happen even when everything is done “right.”   She also shares how she and her husband navigated grief both individually and together, the ways loss impacted their marriage and day-to-day life, and what it has looked like to continue living while carrying Joey with them. Most beautifully, Jenny talks about the ways she is honoring his life and carrying forward his legacy with love, purpose, and intention.   This is an honest conversation about love, trauma, survival, and what it means to keep a child's memory alive.   Find Jenny and all her amazing work on Instagram at @whatjoeytaughtme ************************************* This Podcast is brought to you by LossLink.com.

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.

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

The April cohort of the Pregnancy Loss & Trauma-Informed Specialist Certification is open now — and it starts April 6th. Five spots. Application only. DM me HERE This is one of the most important conversations this podcast has had. Because childlessness not by choice is one of the most complex, layered, and misunderstood forms of grief — and it is almost never talked about. In this episode, Sharna sits down with Judi Johnson, certified grief coach and founder of Embrace Your Future, based in Auckland, New Zealand. Judi specialises in helping people navigate the grief of childlessness not by choice — and she speaks from both professional expertise and lived experience. Together, they explore what it actually means to reach the point of "I cannot do this anymore" — whether that comes after years of pregnancy loss, failed fertility treatment, or life circumstances that made motherhood impossible — and what happens next, when the world around you still doesn't understand why you're not just trying again. In this episode: Why grief on the reproductive journey starts far earlier than most people realise — long before the decision to stop The compounding layers of grief, guilt, hope, and loss that build through fertility treatment and pregnancy loss What it means to reach the decision to stop trying — and why that decision is not small, not simple, and not made lightly The myth of acceptance: why "you need to accept this" is the wrong thing to say, and what actually helps instead The profound loss of identity and sense of self when the future you imagined no longer exists How to protect yourself emotionally — in the workplace, at family events, around pregnancy announcements — when the world keeps coming Finding safe outlets for anger, grief, and emotional overwhelm Why you cannot wait to be rescued, and what it looks like to start doing the work yourself The unexpected truth about community — and how belonging eventually becomes possible again Resources mentioned: Judi Johnson — Embrace Your Future Website: www.embraceyourfuture.net Free download: Coping mechanisms for emotional overwhelm Free download: Breaking free from people pleasing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourfuture_by_judi Facebook group: Childless Not By Choice community Connect with Sharna: International Institute for Reproductive Loss & Trauma Leadership: https://www.instagram.com/reproductivelossleadership/ If this episode landed for you, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Lindsey, who has experienced the heartbreaking loss of two of her sweet babies. We talk about the unfortunate care she received in the hospital, the regrets she has carried, and how those experiences have shaped her mission to help other mamas in need. We also talk about the self-care journey of surviving while waiting for the time to try again for another living baby. She is such a light, and I truly hope her words resonate with anyone walking this road.

Miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and medical dismissal — why are so many women told everything is “normal” when something doesn't feel right in pregnancy?In this episode, Goldie shares her experience of multiple pregnancy losses, including back-to-back miscarriages and a second-trimester loss at 14 weeks, while navigating pregnancy after loss and parenting her living children. Her story is one of grief, love, and resilience, even in the face of being dismissed and blamed by medical providers.This conversation explores miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss, loss and grief, pregnancy after loss, and parenting after loss, along with the reality of advocating for yourself when you don't feel heard. Goldie also shares the emotional weight of repeated loss, the decisions that come with second-trimester pregnancy loss, and what it looks like to carry both grief and love at the same time.If you have experienced miscarriage, baby loss, pregnancy loss, or challenges in pregnancy and parenting after loss, this episode offers validation, honesty, and a reminder that your voice — and your story — matter.

In this solo episode, I'm talking about something that can feel complicated in grief… the gifts our babies leave us with. And no—I don't mean anything that takes away from the pain or tries to “silver line” their loss. I mean the real, undeniable ways they've changed us. For a long time, I only knew Brody through pain. Through devastation. Through everything that was taken from me. But at some point, I realized… I didn't want that to be the only way I carried him. So I started to see what else was there. How deeply present I've become with the people I love. How much more authentically I show up in my life. How my perspective—shaped through grief—has created a version of me I'm actually proud of. These are the gifts. And it's okay to acknowledge them. It's okay to lean into them. It doesn't mean you're “moving on.” It means you're moving with. This is how we become the next version of ourselves—the one our babies made us.

One in four. That's the documented statistic. But today's guest, Dr Amanda Garnica — clinical psychologist, researcher, and loss mum herself — believes the real number is far bigger. Because when something is this stigmatised, people don't report it. And when it's not reported, it doesn't exist in the data. And when it doesn't exist in the data, the system has no reason to change. If this episode has confirmed what you already knew — that the current standard of care falls short — the certification is where you build the alternative. Five spots. April 6th. DM me HERE for enquiries or to apply. In this episode, Sharna and Amanda have the kind of conversation that this community has needed for a long time — raw, informed, and deeply human. Amanda shares what she discovered when she spent years researching pregnancy loss, including something that genuinely surprised her: the sheer number of men who came forward wanting to be heard, wanting words for what they were carrying, wanting someone to finally ask. This episode covers: Why the documented statistics don't reflect the true scale of pregnancy loss — and what that costs families What Amanda found when she researched men's experiences of pregnancy loss, and why so many participated when they weren't expected to The identity question men grapple with: am I a father if I never held them? Why general therapy so often leaves bereaved mothers feeling like something is still missing The body-based, somatic piece that talk therapy alone can't reach How both Sharna and Amanda have navigated criticism for doing this work — and what kept them going The moment Amanda had to press "submit" on her conference presentation and push through the voice that said nobody wants to hear this Why your loss is valid — no matter how early, no matter what anyone else has been through This conversation is for the mother who is still waiting to feel understood. It's for the partner who didn't know where to go. And it's for every practitioner who has ever felt the gap between what their clients need and what the system offers. You are not alone. The research is starting to say so too.
