277: Claire Brett’s Journey Through Five Miscarriages and the Courage It Took to Keep Going


Listen Later

Claire Brett’s story begins in a country pub on the NSW/QLD border — a lively, dusty place where everyone knew your name. But after losing her dad at just five, grief became a quiet thread through her life. Years later, on a farm in Kentucky, NSW, Claire and her husband Jake built a life together and welcomed their first child... until pregnancy loss changed everything. While trying for her second baby, Claire endured five miscarriages in a row, each one testing her strength, faith, and identity. In this episode, she opens up about love, loss, and finding meaning again. Through her work with Pink Elephants and Lighting the Way, she now helps support rural and regional women navigating miscarriage and pregnancy after loss. October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, and Claire's story is one of the heartbreak and hope that so many rural women experience.
