This week’s episode is a re-release of Episode 39, which is one of the most listened to episodes with Kelsey Albers.

Kelsey talked about missing a baby that was never there. She was 11 weeks pregnant, and the heartbeat could not be heard, the bleeding started, and an ultrasound revealed there was no baby. She experienced a blighted ovum, which is an embryonic sac and the placenta developed but the baby did not.

Inside this episode Kelsey shared about:

"I believe that working with someone teaches you coping skills and teaches you perspective and it is so important to be able to move on, to continue to thrive and live this life you were put here to do without just being crushed by grief every single day for the rest of your life." -- Kelsey Albers

On this episode I shared several events that I am participating in this month to spread awareness. Yes, there is a focus on more events this month and for me I have a focus for this to be every month. So many have been affected by loss and let us as a community continue to bring awareness so those that are experiencing loss can find the community they need.

Isolation and feeling alone attributes to women taking on blame, shame, and guilt and then they allow the itty, bitty shitty committee in their heads with self-talk and self-worth. Let us break the silence and isolation. We CAN talk about sad things.

Maja Miller shared her story of pregnancy loss and an IVF journey to have her first living child at 45. She also shared that she has two more embryos and is excited to have more children after the age of 45.

Maja helps other women on their health journey as a metabolic health coach and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner. A fancy way of saying that she uses clinical labs to analyze blood, urine, stool, hair, etc to figure out why her clients feel burned out, exhausted and sick.  She then uses those results to create tailored, bio-individual protocols to reverse their symptoms. 

In this episode Maja shared about her:

“You can find a lot of solace in taking action towards your goal and your goal is 100% possible so there is nothing that is impossible” – Maja Miller

Kristen Azotea shared her story of the loss of her first daughter Adalida in 2014. At 26 weeks pregnant she was admitted to the hospital and soon after needed an emergency c-section because her and her baby's life were in danger. Kristen had contracted and experienced a rare virus during her pregnancy. Kristen expressed that grieving the loss of Adalida had been delayed due to giving birth to two beautiful living children, breast cancer and covid. She heard through it all that she was strong, and many times did not feel strong.

In this episode we talked about:

"You don't have to have all the answers or have everything lined up. There are people out there that want to help you and you find out who is there for you and hold on to them." -- Kristen Azotea

Coach Teresa talks about navigating grief as a grandparent. When your child loses a child, you are grieving both your grandchild and you are grieving for your child. Instead of spoiling a grandchild, you have now become the ultimate caregiver for your family and possibly your child's friends.

Inside this episode you will hear about:

"You are 100% in control of talking about your grief and 0% of controlling how people respond to it. People do not want to get your sadness all over them" -- Teresa Reiniger
