CONTENT NOTE: In this episode I will talk about loss, specifically miscarriage. It’s a difficult topic for sure, but the experience was a very important element to how I’ve gotten where I am today.

I had never planned to get pregnant at 22. Looking back now, I was just a baby myself. Regardless, after that I had everything planned out. My then-husband and I decided to wait until I had finished my degree to try for another baby and I had it planned to the day when I would get pregnant so that I wasn’t huge in the summer, and all the planning worked - I got pregnant!

As you might have guessed, I miscarried soon after. It was very early, but it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with. The anger, depression, shame, and guilt that I carried from that made my next pregnancy miserable.

Looking back, I still don’t understand why things had to happen that way, but I know that God does not make mistakes. He has a bigger plan for me and in order for me to get to where I am, there were a lot of difficult things I had to get through. 

At some point in our lives, we all experience loss, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or even a sense of identity. It can be a difficult and painful experience that can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to move forward. But with resilience, we can overcome these challenges and find a way to move forward with hope and positivity.
