Rock Your Kindness is hosted by Tracey Ferrin. Tracey is a mother, wife, best-selling author, and TikTok superstar. She is often called a "breath of fresh air" by those who know and meet her. She is a mom of 4 and has been married to the love of her life for 18 years. Together, they call Texas home.

In this episode, Tracey and Taylor discuss the challenges women face experiencing a miscarriage, some of the stigmas and lack of knowledge around miscarriage, how and where to find support if you have experienced a miscarriage, and Taylor’s story of hope after overcoming her own struggle through losing a child to miscarriage.

“I love hearing stories where you went through something that was just so devastating and so hard, but you took that pain, And you turned it into doing something for others who are walking that path that you once walked to me, that is just is a different type of people.”
