My guest, Ariana, has experienced four pregnancy losses, the most recent being an ectopic pregnancy. In this episode, she walks us through the circumstances surrounding her losses and how those experiences inspired her to advocate for policy changes in maternal care and pregnancy loss support, particularly for women of color. She also shares the story behind Timmari’s Touch, an incredible initiative named after her son, dedicated to supporting families in the immediate aftermath of pregnancy or infant loss.

My guest, Cecilia, lost her beautiful daughter, Amelia due to Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)—a birth injury caused by prolonged oxygen deprivation and reduced blood flow to the brain at birth.

In this episode, she shares the story of her loss following a relatively normal pregnancy, the bereavement support she received after she had Amelia, and how she continues to honor her daughter’s legacy through her work as a birth and postnatal doula.

I am so grateful to Cecilia for sharing such a deeply vulnerable part of her life with listeners, and for the incredible care she offers other mothers in honor of Amelia’s short, but very powerful life.

In December 2025, my guest Shanaya and her husband learned during their routine twenty-week ultrasound that their baby had Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT), a congenital tumor located at the base of the tailbone. After much deliberation with their medical team, they made the incredibly difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy for medical reasons.

In this episode, Shanaya walks us through the circumstances surrounding the loss of her son and shares what her healing journey has looked like as she navigates life after loss. I am deeply grateful to Shanaya for her incredible strength in sharing her story and for wanting to help other women facing similar circumstances.
