Description

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION is a podcast for mothers navigating the sacred, often silent path of pregnancy after loss. Hosted by Kristin Mundy -- birth and bereavement doula, grief educator, and fellow loss mom. Each episode holds space for real, vulnerable birth stories — from women who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, or infant loss. Some are holding their rainbow babies now. Some are pregnant again, and others are still on the path of trying to conceive after loss. All are sharing the truth of what it means to keep going after life shattering grief.

Here, you'll hear stories that aren't often told — the ones full of fear, strength, heartbreak, and hope. These are not your typical blissful birth stories. They are stories of angel babies and rainbow babies. Stories of resilience. Of courage. Of a love that endures.

Here at TRC we believe a rainbow isn't just a baby born after loss — it's a bridge: a connection between what was lost and what may still come. A symbol of strength, love, and healing.

If you're pregnant after loss, trying to conceive, or searching for hope after pregnancy loss, this podcast is for you.
