When your baby dies, it’s not just them you lose—it’s the version of you that was going to be their mom. So what happens when the path you were on suddenly disappears?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing something that so many of us loss moms silently struggle with—the deep, aching question of purpose. Who am I now that I’m no longer the mom I was becoming? What do I even care about anymore?

Whether you feel like you’re just going through the motions or you’ve completely lost your spark, I want you to know this: You are not broken—you’re becoming. And the fact that nothing feels meaningful right now? That makes perfect sense.

In this solo episode, I open up about what happened after I lost my twin girls at 32 weeks—the grief, the guilt, the chaos I tried to out-busy—and how I slowly started finding my way back to a purpose that honored them, without burying myself.

This isn’t about building a brand-new life overnight. It’s about letting the tiniest spark guide you. It’s about asking softer questions, noticing what lights you up (even a little), and allowing space for purpose to return in a new way… one that makes space for both your grief and your growth.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why it’s normal to feel like your purpose disappeared after your baby died
  • How identity and direction get shattered after loss—and how to begin rebuilding
  • What purpose can look like (spoiler: it doesn’t have to be big, shiny, or loud)
  • How to start asking the right questions when you don’t know what’s next
  • Why honoring your baby might be the key to rediscovering yourself
  • A client story that shows how purpose can come in quiet, unexpected ways
