Miscarriage and Loss: Podcast EP9

  • By admin
  • In All Posts, Podcasts, Well-Being

We are going to be talking about a topic here that is likely going to be the hardest episode we will ever do on this podcast.

I believe that this information should be readily available to you but unfortunately, it is not.

Therefore, I am going to end the tendency to brush off or minimize a miscarriage.

This episode is going to be for everyone. Whether you have had a miscarriage or not, you will find valuable information in this episode.

If you haven’t had a miscarriage, it is still extremely likely that someone in your life has, and this episode will give you some insight as to how to support them.

Buckle up and get ready for an eye-opening episode. Let’s work together and get the correct information out there and help each other through a difficult time.

Be sure to share this podcast so we can change the stigmas and misinformation around miscarriage and loss.

In this episode, I share with you:

  • Miscarriages are thrown under the rug too much
  • 20% of all pregnancies end in loss
  • 1 in 5 pregnant women will experience a loss
  • In history, women who miscarried were deemed inadequate
  • Feeling the pain of the women before us
  • There is no right or wrong way to feel 
  • We all mourn differently
  • Don’t let people tell you how to or not to feel while experiencing this grief
  • How you grieve is 1,000% valid, no matter how it is
  • Grief can manifest it into other health issues if not dealt with
  • Psychosomatics
  • Psychoneuroimmunology
  • Grief will show up in so many ways, that doesn’t always feel or look like grief
  • Grief is often masked as postpartum depression
  • Depression is simply a rational response to being overly stressed with no support
  • Not everyone will understand your pain
  • Communicate
  • It doesn’t matter how far in the pregnancy the loss of a baby was experienced, it is still a loss
  • Ask how you can support them
  • Moms who have experienced a miscarriage won’t start the conversation
  • Find the support to heal
  • You are not alone in this journey
  • Don’t betray your body
  • Verbalize your needs
  • We need to normalize miscarriages
  • If you’re not sure where to start, reach out to me, to someone you trust, or to your provider. Whatever you do, it’s time to take your healing seriously, and I am with you every step of the way.

Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to o Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to our epic free masterclass yesterday. 

Without your commitment to serving women and families, this would absolutely not be possible.

The Postpartum Herbs, Care, and Practice course series and 100-page downloadable book will give you a fundamental understanding of herbal use specifically in postpartum, and how you can use this information within your scope of practice.

If you’re ready to begin your herbal journey, this is an incredible place to start.

Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depres Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depression and anxiety?

Do you know why so many of us run to comfort food in times of stress?

Here’s an important truth bomb:

💥Your stomach has more nerve cells than your brain.💥

This is also why food has the ability to calm our emotions more completely than any breathing technique ever will. The link between our stomach and our brain health is undeniable.

POOR GUT HEALTH AND LACK OF NUTRIENTS ARE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.

Take that in for a second.

As professionals showing up to serve, we must understand this in order to elevate our practice and truly help mothers and families thrive.

We need root cause care. Click the link in my bio to save your seat for the Postpartum Nutrition Certification Program!

“Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly. “Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly.

Although the signs that this isn’t working are everywhere, where do we look when stepping outside of the modern norm?

It is this crossroads where we’re given the opportunity to come home to the traditions and cultural practices that have been lost across generations.

The secret to a better way of experiencing motherhood rests in this wisdom.

The way back, however, requires a deep process of discovery and digging back to our roots. Today, we’re here to share our best advice and what we’ve been working on at Postpartum University to help you get started.

When I first started working as a childbirth educa When I first started working as a childbirth educator, doula, and nutrition coach nearly 15 years ago, I was absolutely terrified of HERBS. 😖

Over the last several years, my attitude has changed significantly. I've had the privilege to homestead on a 40-acre forest in Alaska (where I've lived 100% of the time for the last several years). I've grown comfortable foraging wild berries and harvesting devils club, wild chamomile, rose hips, fireweed, and so much more.

My passion for the land and its medicine took me into a Women's Herbalist Certification program, and I've had the advantage of working with locals to learn and grow my own love of God's earthly medicine.

And even more importantly, I've learned that herbs are nothing to be afraid of. Over the last few generations, the healthcare industry and medical market has successfully placed fear, worry, and anxiety over herbs, marking them as dangerous, unknown, and highly risky, especially in pregnancy and postpartum.

I fell for the "it's not safe and it's out of my scope" trap. And I see so many professionals doing the exact same.

This is exactly why I created the free upcoming training:

How to Use Herbs in Postpartum (Safely)!

A free masterclass for professionals who want to incorporate traditional root medicine into their practice without feeling constant worry.

In this 90 minute masterclass, you'll be learning:

🌿 How to use herbs effectively and safely in the sensitive postpartum period, even when you're not an herbalist.
🌿 A 4-step framework that makes herbal knowledge and use significantly easier to understand and apply.
🌿 Using herbs as Root Cause medicine while busting myths that have kept herbal knowledge in the hands of few.
🌿 And plenty more!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! This will be held on August 17th at:

10am Alaska Standard Time (AST)
1pm Central Standard Time (CST)
6pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Limited seats available. REPLAY AVAILABLE.

We will conclude with a Q+A session and you will be given a followup juicy BONUS download with specific information that goes beyond this Masterclass (for live attendees only).
