In this deeply moving episode, we welcome Shannon Roane, the founder of J&J Journals—a brand born from personal heartbreak and a desire to guide others through the silent terrain of pregnancy loss and grief.

Shannon vulnerably shares the story of her ectopic pregnancy, a missed miscarriage, and the unspoken aftermath that left her navigating trauma, isolation, and silent suffering.

We explore:

• The unrecognised trauma of pregnancy loss

• How journaling became Shannon’s lifeline

• The unseen grief anniversaries that live in our bodies

• Finding safe spaces to heal and be witnessed

• The truth about navigating friendships and triggers after loss

• The courage to hold space for others through peer mentoring and care packages Shannon reminds us that healing isn’t about “moving on,” but about moving forward with compassion, purpose, and grace.

Whether you’ve experienced loss yourself or are supporting someone who has, this conversation offers heart-opening insights and a deep sense of connection.
