1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. So why is miscarriage still such a taboo topic? Why is this painful reality so hidden?

On today's episode we are talking to Arden The Miscarriage Doula. She takes us deep into her story and helps us understand what it feels like to experience a miscarriage. This story is raw and powerful. Arden gives words to what so many people have felt and provides valuable insight into how we move through the grief and trauma of miscarriage.
