Episode 33: Kyira Wackett MS,LPC -The Shame Therapist Shares Why We Feel Shame and What To Do About It

Kyria Wackett is a wife, mom, and self-proclaimed shame therapist. She is the Founder of Adversity rising and as a licensed mental health therapist she specializes in anxiety and shame and helping women address these issues in order to live their best lives.

In this episode, we focus on the shame we so commonly feel after our baby's loss and why every human carries shame. What the difference is between guilt and shame and how you can notice when you are shaming yourself?

We each share an interesting perspective of how you can carry that shame into a new pregnancy and pass it on to the new baby. I know this topic is one that is really hard to recognize in yourself because we are ashamed to feel shame but Kyria offers us some great free resources. Check them out below:

January 12, 202330: Author Crystal Webster of Sharing Solace Tells Madelyn's Story and How She Created Unique Sharable Items to Help Grievers
Send Jen a Text Message
Episode 30: Author Crystal Webster of Sharing Solace Tells Madelyn's Story and How She Created Unique Sharable Items to Help Grievers

Crystal Webster is the (co)founder of Sharing Solace, author of ‘Confessions of a Griever’, creator of the ‘Feel Your &*@#% Feels’ Experience, speaker, mentor, entrepreneur, and most importantly she is Madelyn Elizabeth Webster’s mama. When Madelyn died in Crystal’s arms just hours after she was born, she wanted to die too. It took her years to learn to live again – mostly because she realized her Madelyn wouldn’t want her to live the rest of her life waiting to die.

In this episode, she tells Madelyn's story and how her death inspired her to write a book and create gifts that are meant to comfort them and be passed along.

Sharing Solace (SharingSolace.com) was founded from that love and hope: to help grievers grieve and lovers love their griever through technology-elevated, pass-along-able gifts wrapped in a meaningful community of support and strength - so you can always ‘Remember. You’re not alone.’

Episode 29: Shannon MacFarlane's Incredible Story of Chronicling Loss Through Photography and How to Find Healing Through a Camera Lens.

Have you wondered if taking photos of your baby after they have passed causes more pain or is helpful?

My guest today, Shannon MacFarlane tells us her incredible story about how she chronicled not only the last few days of her baby's life before he was born, but her own life as the Doctors predicted as a gift to her husband before they died. Obviously, the story took a turn since I am interviewing her but she walks us through how she took an uncomfortable photography subject and turned them into beautiful memories for grieving parents.

In this episode she shares how you can also find comfort and chronicle signs that your baby is with you all the time from the lens of your camera.

We also reference THIS EPISODE of the "We Can Do Hard Things" Podcast with Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach.

Episode 28: Jen Burgard- Henry's Story and How She Built a Foundation that Provides Others With Healing Gifts and Resources

This is the ultimate story of how one person who was trying to find healing in her own grief, snowballed her efforts and turned them into a way that built community, resources, and healing gifts for other families who are grieving.

A native of the upper midwest, Jen Burgard is a mom to two living children and one who lives solely in her heart. Her titles include loss mom, living mom, wife, founder, podcaster, director, and most proudly - a survivor. Upon the death of her second child, she set out to fill a gap in accessibility to resources, support, and community for others also experiencing trauma. With personal experience of her own and her newly formed network, she launched Haven as a service to grieving parents in and around her region. Today, Haven has touched each of the 50 states with their healing gifts, podcast content, and online grief workshops. With a goal to bring awareness and understanding not only to child loss but our grief culture in general, we are creating and building conversations around the vast Landscape of Loss.

November 17, 202224: How to Navigate Thanksgiving When You Don't Feel Thankful
Send Jen a Text Message
This is a true account of my own experience of my first Thanksgiving after my twins were stillborn at 32 weeks, and the advice I have given to others since then about what I've learned.
Listen to yourself- tap into your intuition and make decisions accordingly. Your body will tell you everything you need to know in order to care for yourself. Talk to your husband or partner and let them know what you need. Be honest about what you are willing and not willing to do.
Be willing to decline invitations for gatherings if it doesn't feel right. If you feel comforted being with others and want to go then do that. But if the thought of being in a sea of happy people who don't understand how you're feeling is hard for you then be willing to say no and not feel guilty. You can always negotiate a certain amount of time you are willing to go too if that feels right. Don't make decisions according to what others feel is right for you.
Find special items to symbolize your baby. We have two small pumpkins with the girls' names on them for the table. Maybe find some special candles or flowers that are meaningful. Get creative and bring them into your space. Say their names and talk about them. It is the only way we will stop the stigma of keeping it silent.
Create new traditions. This is a time to create some new ways of doing things because your life is different than it was, and you have a new outlook on it. This is a time for you to create or recreate some traditions that are meaningful to you and your family.
Talk to someone who has lived it. There is no substitute for talking to someone who has walked this journey and can guide you. It is likely that those you are expected to see on Thanksgiving have no idea what you are truly feeling so can't see things from your perspective even though they love you and want the best for you. Find someone who is objective and can help you through the process of integrating your old life with your new one.
