In this episode, I sit down with Marcela, a loss mom from South Florida whose first and only child, Alesandra, was stillborn two years ago. Since that devastating loss, Marcela has been on a journey to find answers, rebuild trust in her medical care, and navigate life after unimaginable grief.

Marcela shares how advocating for herself led her to a new medical team and eventually to the birth of her second daughter, sweet Natalia.

Now an active member of the Star Legacy Foundation, Marcela is passionate about supporting other bereaved parents and helping raise awareness around stillbirth.

She opens up about what the past two years of grief have really looked like, the healing she has found through community and advocacy, and the complex emotions of once believing she would be “one and done,” but now living life as the mother of two beautiful daughters — one in heaven and one in her arms.

This conversation is honest, hopeful, and a reminder that love for our babies never stops growing.
