For Isabelle Oderberg, professional success was a given.  A trailblazing journalist who’d spent 15 years pioneering digital journalism and going toe to toe with Rupert Murdoch at expansive boardroom tables.  But on the personal front, success, was not, well… so assured.  

When Isy decided at 34 that she wanted to become a mother, she had no partner to embark on that journey with.

Isy’s now courageously writing a book about conception and pregnancy loss aptly called, “Hard to Bear” to help others experiencing the crushing grief that takes hold, when there’s no baby at the end of a pregnancy.
