EP141: Stillbirth, silence, and the grief you're never told you can feel — with Jennifer Senn
Q: What kinds of support or approaches did you find most helpful in moving from grief to a more hopeful path?
She describes the shift from outsourcing healing to embracing self-compassion, the value of lived-experience-informed therapy or coaching, and the importance of finding people who truly sit with you in your pain rather than trying to fix it.
EP141: Stillbirth, silence, and the grief you're never told you can feel — with Jennifer Senn
Q: Did you want to share a little bit about your story and how it led you to where you are today?

EP138: When your body fears what your heart wants: Tokophobia, Reproductive Anxiety Disorder — with Alexia Leachman
Q: What would you say is the root cause of so much fear around pregnancy and birth, and how does RAD address it beyond the specific fear of birth?

EP136: The Missing Piece Day 1: The Gap in Pregnancy Loss Care - with Sharna Southan
Q: What are the most important changes practitioners can make to better support bereaved mothers?
