**Not for young listeners and you may wish to screen for older children as well. **
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am honored to share this conversation with Anne Garrett. Anne is a mother, writer and philanthropist. Together we talk honestly and unflinchingly about what brought her to co-found the Unexpected Project, a 100% volunteer-led non-profit that shares the stories of those who survived (or lost someone who did not) a harrowing complication in pregnancy.
This is a conversation where we quickly go deep into Anne's experience and what she's learned from others along the way while also continuing the Unexpected Project, working on a documentary, and writing a book.
Anne also shares her desire to spread the word to remove stigma and shame that many mothers feel after such experiences. Her dedication and passion to keep helping others through difficult times is bold and inspiring.
