In this deeply moving episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein speaks with psychologist and author Dr. Jessica Zucker, founder of the #IHadaMiscarriage movement and author of Normalize It.

Whether you've experienced loss, trauma, or the quiet grief of holding your truth inside, this conversation offers validation, science-backed insight, and an invitation to begin your own process of reclaiming voice and vitality.
