In a 3-year period, I lost 7 babies.

It wasn't just the physical toll of surgeries, blood-thinning injections, and torn ligaments. It was the "mind f*ck" of trying to trick my brain into believing everything would be okay, while secretly preparing for the worst. It was watching my husband, Johnny, grieve in silence because he felt he had to be the "fixer" in a situation that couldn't be fixed.

In this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the silent epidemic of miscarriage. We often hear the statistic "1 in 4," but we rarely hear the raw, unfiltered reality of what happens after the loss.

Expect to learn:

• ​ The "Silent" Partner: Why men’s grief is often overlooked and how the trauma of loss affects husbands differently.
• ​ The Physical Toll: The reality of D&Cs, "disappearing twin syndrome," and the toll recurrent pregnancy loss takes on a woman's body.
• ​ Navigating the "Bad Luck": How to manage the crippling paranoia and anxiety of being pregnant after a miscarriage.
• ​ What NOT to Say: Why asking "Don't you think your body has had enough?" is the worst thing you can say to a grieving mother.
• ​ The Rainbow at the End: The story of my "last shot" that became my daughter, Milana.

If you have ever lost a baby, loved someone who has, or are currently in the trenches of trying to conceive, this episode is for you. You are not broken, and you are not alone.
