In today’s episode, Maia shares her miscarriage story — from finding out she was pregnant, to the long in-between of uncertain test results, to walking through a natural miscarriage that eventually led to medication and, ultimately, a D&C. She invites listeners into the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of each stage, speaking honestly about the waiting, the unknown, and the decisions that had to be made along the way.

This conversation holds space for the reality that miscarriage is rarely a straight line. Grief can shift from hope to heartbreak quickly, and navigating medical options while processing loss can feel overwhelming and isolating. Maia reflects on the importance of giving yourself grace in the middle of it — grace for the emotions, the questions, the anxiety, and everything in between.

At the heart of this episode is Maia’s desire to help other women feel less alone and better equipped to handle their grief in their own journeys. She shares why advocating for yourself medically matters, but also why learning how to love people well in their loss matters. Maia speaks candidly about what helped, what hurt, and how we can be more thoughtful and intentional with our words when someone is grieving.

Most importantly, she talks about bringing God into grief — not bypassing it or rushing healing, but allowing sorrow and hope to coexist. She reminds listeners that God is not distant in our pain; He is present in it. Maia reflects on how healing in community and walking with a Christian counselor played a significant role in her process, reminding us that the words we speak, the people we invite in, and the presence of God all shape how we heal.

As always, this episode is meant to encourage and inform — not provide medical advice — and to remind you that if you’re walking through loss, you are not alone.
