Joana, a self-proclaimed “Portuguese made, Aussie born, wannabe psychologist,” joins us for a thoughtful and heartfelt conversation about her complex journey to motherhood. She shares her experience of building a small family, remembering the grief of losing her parents, and how she works to keep their values alive for her son. This episode is a powerful blend of strength and vulnerability, touching on the often-silent grief of miscarriage, how it can shape a woman’s relationship with her body, and the healing that can come from opening up to community.
