“The Wisdom in the Waiting” — Tallia Deljou on Grief, Healing, and the Path to Her Baby
Description
Tallia Deljou shares the story of her son, born at 22 weeks, and the transformative journey that followed — through miscarriage, grief, and the slow reimagining of what motherhood could look like after loss. In this heartfelt conversation, Tallia opens up about rebuilding trust in her body, choosing not to become pregnant again, and finding peace and purpose in the waiting as she prepares to grow her family through surrogacy.
We talk about:
- Navigating multiple pregnancy losses and a 22-week delivery
- The shock, grief, and meaning-making that followed loss
- Rebuilding trust in her body and marriage after trauma
- Choosing not to get pregnant again and honoring her boundaries
- Exploring surrogacy and learning to wait with hope
- The spiritual and emotional lessons of loss and surrender
- Creating Mothers Rising, a space for moms-in-waiting
- Healing through community, reflection, and inner work
- Learning to give hope a place to live again
This episode is a tender, powerful reminder that grief and beauty can coexist — and that birth, even in loss, can absolutely be sacred.
