  • Beautiful and raw and vulnerable

    So grateful for Kristin and all the work she does to connect the loss community and make us feel less alone navigating life after loss of our babies. All of these stories are vulnerable and beautiful and I’m so honoured to hear the stories of babies in the sky with my baby boy Kieran 🤍

  • Thank you Kristin

    The Rainbow Connection Podcast was introduced to me after losing my baby at 38 weeks. I felt so many things that the women Kristin was talking to did and it helped me feel less alone in such a dark and isolating time. Fast forward a year later and I got to sit down with Kristin and talk about my story both of my angel baby as well as my rainbow baby. The safe space she creates for women to share their stories and in turn the hope she allows women to feel is honourable and I am so grateful to her... more

  • No “Right” Way to Navigate this Journey

    I’m so grateful this podcast exists and to be invited on to share my story. As a naturopathic doctor and someone who experienced pregnancy loss firsthand, it was meaningful to have an open and honest conversation around the uncertainty, grief, fear and HOPE that comes with pregnancy after loss.

    Thank you for creating a warm and supportive space for pregnancy and loss moms to share their stories and remind them that they are no alone 🤍

  • A lifeline when I needed it most

    When I lost my daughter this past May, I was desperate to feel less alone. I hardly ever listened to podcasts, but somehow I came across The Rainbow Connection, and during those first two months of grief it became a bit of a lifeline for me.

    I tried listening to other podcasts about baby loss and grief too, but there was something about The Rainbow Connection that reached me in a way the others didn’t.

    Listening to Kristin and all the women who shared their stories made me feel understood and ... more

“Learning to Feel Safe Again” — Katie on Miscarriage, Breathwork, and Motherhood After Loss
Q: What drew you to breath work? When did you start thinking you might teach it?
Her motivation was acute anxiety during pregnancy after loss; breathwork offered a practical way to regain parasympathetic calm and protect the pregnancy. After certification she expanded into teaching to help other women navigate similar experiences.
“I Thought 12 Weeks Meant We Were Safe” — Alexa Conlon on Stillbirth, Grief, and Motherhood After Loss
Q: What was it like in the immediate days after you found out you had lost Kayde?

“Our Hearts Were Already So Invested” — Deanna on Miscarriage and the Long Road to Pregnancy After Loss
Q: Can you share a bit about who you are and where you're at in this journey now?
I'm Deanna, a nurse and mom of two, living in a small town near Toronto. After miscarriage and a subsequent pregnancy after loss, I've built a coaching practice to support other families and am focusing on empathy and community in my work and life.
"This Is What I Could Do for Her” – Birth, Loss, and Love as a Mother and Midwife
Q: I'm wondering, where you kind of felt in that world, post saying goodbye to Marigold, and considering if you were going to try to add to your family again?
It was definitely felt ready to be pregnant again. Physically, there was some healing that needed to happen, obviously, as there always is.
“Nothing About This Was Easy”: A Story of Stillbirth, NICU Survival, and the Baby Who Changed Everything
Q: What did your journey to the next pregnancy look like after losing your daughter?
The journey was difficult; Jessalyn wanted another baby, but her husband was initially reluctant. She felt an urgent desire to try again rapidly after the loss, fueled by a yearning to expand their family and offer her daughter a sibling.
