This week kicks off a five part series highlighting stories and topics surrounding pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. Kacie and Gianna hope to bring new awareness and light to these tough subjects to help those who have gone through it, or are currently going through it, feel less alone.

This episode in particular is an interview coming from Gianna’s former podcast, So Sorry For Your Loss, and highlights grief coach Jen Morrow’s personal experience with stillbirth and miscarriage. Jen discusses how she has turned her pain into power by helping others process grief & life after loss, sharing tips to help heal & thrive after devastating pain. She bravely details the moment a doctor reached across the desk and told her to prepare for miscarriage or stillbirth. A few weeks short of full term, she delivered her son Matthew and held him until he passed away only hours later. She went on to experience another miscarriage before welcoming her rainbow baby girl (and a second one since this episode first aired in 2021)!

This week we’re joined by the queen, or mother, of lashes, Alicia Grande (no relation to Ariana, we asked). With an effervescent passion for beauty in her younger years, Alicia worked at a cosmetic counter and hosted a beauty radio show and eventually landed in marketing. When it came time to grow a family, she rejoiced at the win of two beautiful, healthy children, but struggled with the loss of her lashes. She met a chemist at a trade show who presented her with a solution. 

She tried it, it worked, she bought the formula, quit her job and now, Grande Cosmetics has the number one selling lash and brow enhancing serum available internationally! 

Alicia shares the hustle it took to get there and the marketing tips every brand owner and entrepreneur needs to know. Equally passionate about giving back to women’s causes, she sits on the board of Northwell Health’s Katz Institute for women and has donated more $700,000 to charities which include Working for Women, Feeding America, and many others.

Join Kacie and Gianna as they discuss back-to-school topics every parent needs to know. From gearing up for the new school year with safety measures to navigating the impact of technology on parenting, they share their own concerns and helpful advice from around the internet. And because no episode is complete without addressing the ever-present "mom guilt," the pair talks about the pressure to get involved in activities at school and looking put together at drop off. As back-to-school season coincides with cold and flu season, Kacie and Gianna share their favorite remedies and must-have items to help fellow moms power through those initial weeks of routine adjustments.
