  • Most Relatable Loss Mom Podcast for the Healing Heart ❤️‍🩹

    Kristin’s content is so spot on. I recently suffered the loss of our 4th baby, a sweet baby girl named Skye Marie, at 15 weeks pregnant. It has been the hardest time of my life and The Rainbow Connection and Kristin’s social media posts have helped me through in more ways that I can count. Really grateful for the work she does for this community no one wants to be a part of 🪽👼🕊️

  • Grief Worth Witnessing

    I will never get tired of hearing these stories. Kristen has created a space that feels sacred, where people can speak openly about pregnancy loss and be truly heard. Listening feels like a grief ritual, a way of honoring our babies and each other. This podcast is for loss parents, and for anyone who has known grief and wants a place to sit with it.

“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.

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.
“We Think It Won’t Happen to Us” — Dr. Jessica Zucker on Loss, Shame, and the Movement to Normalize It
Q: What do you wish people would say or stop saying to someone who has experienced loss?
Phrases that begin with 'at least' should be avoided because they minimize the loss and can erode trust.
