  • Mourning Miscarriages
    I'm not like a regular mom...I'm a mom who has miscarried. A whopping 25% of women have miscarried, and I would argue 100% of people know someone who has. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Liz, who miscarried in her second trimester, about what she went through and what she wishes others knew about her experience. Topics include: Abiding by the 12-week wait (or not); why some women feel shame after miscarrying; the movement to share that you miscarried vs. the counter-movement to not share; my current mantra of living in the "and," and how that can help grieving women navigate their friends' pregnancy news; men's lack of miscarriage support; how to sensitively deliver pregnancy news to a friend who miscarried; what NOT to say to someone who miscarried and what to say instead
