On this week’s episode, Kelly welcomes the wonderful Michelle to the podcast. 

Michelle bravely revisits her trauma, grief and loss she experienced over 10 years ago, sharing how she now feels she is in the best place to face it after retraining as a counsellor.

She openly talks about her multiple miscarriages, her IVF journey and the pain she carried for so many years. Michelle shares how she has turned that pain into purpose, channelling her energy into fundraising — including taking on the Marathon for Making Miracles.

🎙️ A beautiful conversation about loss, motherhood, resilience, purpose and finding the courage to face the past.

On this episode, Kelly welcomes Vicki from, Long Reach Nutrition Clinic, to the podcast, a specialist nutritionist focusing on women’s health, IVF, fertility and post-pregnancy wellbeing.

Vicki shares her knowledge on the importance of looking after your body, particularly during fertility treatment, pregnancy and after experiencing pregnancy loss. We explore how nutrition and understanding your body can support you through these different stages of life.

We also discuss the financial burden of IVF and how the cost of treatment can create an additional layer of stress for couples already navigating the emotional and physical challenges of fertility treatment. With NHS-funded IVF provision varying depending on where you live, and changes to eligibility and access in some areas, the pressure and uncertainty can feel overwhelming for many people.

The conversation also looks at the benefits of a blood test and what it can tell you about your health, alongside the importance of sleep, food and lifestyle. Vicki explains how learning more about your body and understanding what it needs can help you feel more informed and empowered.

A really honest and insightful conversation about women’s health, fertility, IVF, loss, pregnancy after loss, nutrition and looking after yourself throughout the journey.

On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes Sarah to the podcast. In this deeply moving episode, Sarah shares the story of her daughter, Cassie Hope.

Following what had been a straightforward pregnancy, everything changed during labour. Sarah describes the shock of being told something was wrong, the silence that filled the delivery room and the trauma of meeting her daughter for the first time while still processing the pain of labour. She reflects on the fear of the unknown and her  overwhelming grief.

The conversation explores the relentless “what ifs” that follow loss, the self-blame that so many bereaved parents experience and the struggle of living with questions that may never be answered. Sarah shares how grief can leave you feeling powerless.

She also opens up about the hidden challenges that come after loss: making heartbreaking phone calls to nurseries, facing birthdays and milestones and coping with the everyday reminders of what should have been. 

The episode also discusses therapy, taking back control, pregnancy after loss and welcoming Sarah’s daughter, Luna, while carrying both joy and grief together. Above all, it highlights the importance of reaching out for support and reminds anyone experiencing loss that they do not have to face it alone.

This is a powerful conversation about love, loss, resilience and hope.

On this weeks episode Kelly welcome Eirini to the podcast who is all the way from, beautiful Greece. In this very moving and inspirational episode, Eirini shares her story of the loss of her daughter, Artemis.

While living in the UK, Eirini’s pregnancy journey took an unexpected turn when doctors discovered three cysts on her baby’s left lung. Faced with overwhelming information and fear, she describes feeling very uncertain as her world changed forever.

Following a caesarean birth, her daughter, Artemis, named after the Greek goddess, was born. Although Artemis briefly came back to life through the incredible efforts of the medical team, she sadly died at just six days old. Despite the heartbreak of neonatal loss, Eirini treasures the precious memories she was able to create with her daughter and remains deeply grateful for the compassionate care she received in the UK, which gave her the opportunity to meet, hold and make memories with her daughter.

After returning to Greece, Eirini found herself navigating grief with very little support. Having studied Music Therapy in Edinburgh, she reflects on how loss transformed her identity and the way she sees the world. She also shares how difficult it can be when people stop asking questions about your baby, and why having space to speak about Artemis is so important.

As Eirini beautifully shares, “My daughter gave me the strength to overcome anything.”

This episode is a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, motherhood and carrying a child’s legacy forward.

On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes  Matthew Efird to the podcast. 

In this deeply moving episode, Matthew shares the story of his son Noah, who died from Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) on March 9th, 2020, the life-changing journey of grief that followed. From Georgia, America, Matthew opens up about the devastating reality of losing a baby, the fog of grief and how profoundly it changed his ability to function, communicate, and navigate everyday life in the way he used too.

Together, they explore the often-unspoken experience of fathers in bereavement — the lack of support and language available for dads, the pressure grief places on relationships and the importance of simply being seen. Matthew reflects on the kindness from family and friends that carried his family through.

This conversation is an honest look at how every grief journey is unique, how communication becomes essential when coping with loss and how Matthew and his wife learned to “grow together in their grief” by taking the pressure off one another and discovering a new version of themselves.

As Matt says, “I am a bereaved parent and I will always long to be with my son.”

Kelly & Matthew also discuss the inspiration behind his book created to share Noah’s life and help give more voice, visibility and support to grieving families everywhere.

In this weeks episode, Kelly is joined by team member Hayley. In this deeply emotional episode, they talk openly about baby loss, baby funerals and the painful lack of information many families face during the most unimaginable time of their lives.

Making Miracles Charity, who will also be appearing on ITV Regional News this week (19th - 23rd January 2026), to discuss funerals for babies born under 24 weeks’ gestation. Currently, the Children’s Funeral Fund does not cover funerals under 24 weeks, leaving grieving parents facing not only overwhelming emotional pain but unexpected financial pressure.

No parent ever expects to plan or make decisions about their baby’s or child’s funeral. Yet for many, these decisions come with confusion, isolation, and a lack of clear guidance on what options are available.

This episode explores:

• The emotional and financial burden of baby loss
• The gaps in support for families experiencing loss under 24 weeks
• How grief can resurface unexpectedly when navigating funeral arrangements
• Why access to clear information and choice matters

We believe every baby is loved and valued, no matter the gestation, and every family deserves dignity, compassion and support.

We also highlight the incredible work of John Weir Local Funeral Services (Kent), who offer free funerals for children aged 0–16, showing how community support can make a meaningful difference.

This episode is about awareness, honesty and ensuring that no family feels alone — and that everyone knows the options available to them.
