In the Season 2 premiere of Worth a Shot, we open our hearts to share a chapter of our story we never imagined would be ours.

This episode revisits the joy and hope that followed our IVF transfer in August, and the deep grief that came with an unexpected loss. We talk about what it felt like to hear the heartbeat, to tell our daughter she was going to be a big sister, and to start dreaming again—only to have those dreams taken away.

We walk through:

• The moments of joy we’ll never forget
• How we found out our baby was gone
• The physical and emotional aftermath of miscarriage
• Lingering guilt, questions, and the ache of silence
• The signs, words, and support that helped us hold on

This episode is raw, tender, and honest. We don’t have answers—but we’re showing up anyway. Because this baby mattered. And so does your grief.

Trigger warning: This episode contains conversations around IVF, pregnancy, and miscarriage.

Thank you for being here. For listening. For holding space.
