I am joined by five brave women who share their stories of ectopic pregnancy loss -- a type of loss that is not only emotionally devastating, but physically life threatening.

For some, it was their first loss. For others, it was one of many hurdles in a long fertility journey. Each voice adds power to a conversation that is all too often left in the dark. Together, we shine a light on what it means to grieve a pregnancy that never had a chance to grow, and the toll it takes to survive it.

I can't wait for you to tune in!

A special thank you to Meagan, Laurie, Misha, Alicia & Katie.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I’m joined by five incredibly brave women who have all experienced early pregnancy loss. Together, we sit in the heaviness, the honesty, and the silence that so often surrounds early miscarriage — a type of loss that is common, yet still so misunderstood and rarely spoken about.

If you’ve experienced early miscarriage, or love someone who has, this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone — and that your grief is valid, no matter how early your loss occurred. Listen with your heart open. Share with someone who needs it.

I have *10* episodes that I’m looking to have sponsored for 2025.

It’s $100 an episode and every single dollar of your sponsorship goes right back into the loss community.

Do you own a small business and would like an inexpensive way to market your business to a large audience??

Have you lost a grandchild/nephew/niece and wish to honor them in a special way?

Are you looking for a way to honor your own child?

This week, I’m joined by Janel St. Peter—an incredible woman whose story is as heartbreaking as it is powerful. Janel opens up about her long and emotional journey through PCOS, ectopic pregnancies, and failed rounds of IVF. With raw honesty, she shares the grief, frustration, and isolation that can come with trying to conceive in a body that doesn’t follow the rules.

But Janel’s story doesn’t end with loss—it grows into advocacy. Fueled by her own experiences, she has become a fierce voice for women’s reproductive rights and the right to be heard, supported, and believed.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your fertility struggles, or if you care about the future of reproductive healthcare, this conversation will move you, validate you, and maybe even light a fire in you.

We are exited to share with you this incredibly beautiful and touching Mother’s Day episode. I asked loss moms to write a letter to their baby and read it aloud. To capture such raw love speaks volumes to the grief many of us carry on Mother’s Day.

To the mama hurting today— this episode is for you. May you be encouraged and find solidarity knowing that you are not alone in your pain.

To the brave mamas who gave their grief a voice— thank you. Your letters are a beautiful testament to a love so deep it never fades.

Happy Mother’s Day.

If anyone is wanting their letter read on the podcast -- I must have these letters by Friday! Thank you to the many of you who have sent letters! I appreciate them so much!!

I am working on a really special Mother's Day project! Would you consider being involved???!!!

I am looking for 10-15 loss moms to write a letter to your baby that is no longer here in your arms. The letter should be about 1 page in length. That is about the only guideline I have. You can have lost a 6-week pregnancy, given birth to a stillborn or have lost a child in early infancy. I will compile these letters and have you read them to me via zoom so I can compile them into a heartfelt Mother's Day podcast episode. I would like to have all letters received and recorded by May 1st.

If you are interested, please PM me on this platform or reach out to me at [email protected]. Please share this post to get the word out for us! Thank you!

From resting without guilt to honoring your loss in meaningful ways, Lauren shares wise, grounded, and deeply practical insights that every grieving parent deserves to hear. This episode is an invitation to give yourself the space, support, and care you need — and a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
