I recently gave a toast at a wedding reception, and I cannot stop thinking about how true these words are. So today, I'm sharing those words about marriage, dissecting them a bit, and talking more about love and vulnerability in marriage. Because not everyone's love story is the perfect love story; some are messy and hard. But it's the unwavering strength of love that gets you through the challenges and struggles. Being understanding, vulnerable, and forgiving, those are the core pieces of love.

I'm so honored to have Ellan Ruskamp on the show today to share her story in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month this month. Ellan shares the emotions and challenges she faced losing her baby boy, Sam, how she and her family took the time and space needed to grieve, and the importance of empathy over sympathy.

When she's not chasing her kiddos or helping out on the farm, she enjoys getting in touch with her creative side through her business, Midwest Marigold.
