"I really need to keep it together while I'm in here. I really need to keep it together."

Guest

For six weeks in hospital, Dimi held herself together.

Daily blood tests at 7am.
Methotrexate injections.
A procedure that ended a heartbeat.
10 days in complete isolation—no window, no walks.

Constant fear: "Is today the day I have to have a hysterectomy?"

She created routines.
Coffee walks.
Makeup every morning.
Game shows at 5pm.
Anything to get through each day.

But she wasn't processing. She was surviving.

When she finally came home to her apartment—her happy place—she couldn't feel the relief she expected. "That's when I fell into a bit of a heap."

Then came the pressure to move on. "It happened, just forget about it."

So she threw herself into egg freezing. Eight cycles in one year. Treatment became distraction. Because focusing on *that* meant she didn't have to focus on *this*.

It took 4 years.

Four years before she could finally let herself cry.
Four years before a meditation retreat in Greece where she set the intention to simply "let go."
Four years before she could truly grieve what happened.

If you're reading this and you're still "keeping it together"—your timeline is valid.

There's no rush to process trauma.

And when you're ready, you don't have to do it alone.

Listen to Dimi's full story (link in bio).

Her vulnerability in sharing what she's never spoken about publicly might be exactly what someone needs to hear today.

Parenting all six of her children—three on earth, three in heaven 💫

Guest

Shruti has three beautiful living children.
She also has three angel babies.
And she refuses to choose between them.

This is what healing after loss actually looks like—not forgetting, not "moving on," but learning to hold both grief and joy simultaneously. Learning to parent the babies you can hold AND the babies you carry in your heart.

It took Shruti a long time to reach this balance. And she's clear: "It's still work in progress. It's not 'okay, I'm all perfect now.' It's work in progress. It's going to remain work in progress."

There's no finish line in grief. No point where you're "done" or "healed completely." There are layers. There are seasons. There are moments when the grief resurfaces and asks for attention again—and that doesn't mean you've failed or healed wrong.

You don't have to choose between honoring your angel babies and being present for your living children. You can do both. It's a balancing act, yes. It takes intention, yes. But it's possible—and it's beautiful.

Listen to Shruti's full story on the What I Wish I Knew beyond Pregnancy Loss podcast, including the spine-chilling moment her three-year-old son revealed he'd seen his twin brothers "up in the sky."

The mask we wear to keep everyone else comfortable 😔

Guest Shruti

After losing her twins, Shruti returned to work. People assumed she'd delivered and came back from maternity leave. They'd ask: "How are the twins?"

She'd smile.

She'd say: "They didn't make it."

And inside? She was shattering.

"It was like I was feeling—not physically—that all my organs are breaking apart, but I'm smiling... because I had been told, you need to smile and you need to be happy."

This is what toxic positivity does to bereaved mothers. It doesn't heal us—it fractures us further. We perform happiness to make others comfortable while our grief remains unwitnessed, unprocessed, suffocating us from the inside out.

You don't have to smile through your pain.
You don't have to be "positive" to be worthy of support.
Your grief deserves to be held, not hidden.

The pressure to "just be happy" isn't healing—it's spiritual bypassing. Real healing comes when we allow ALL emotions to exist, when we stop escaping our pain and start addressing it with the compassion it deserves.

Listen to Shruti's full story on the What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss podcast. This conversation will change how you understand grief, positivity, and what bereaved mothers actually need.

Why you are stuck ...

You can't build what you can't see.

That's why you're stuck.

Not because you're not ready.

Not because you don't have enough lived experience.
Not because you need more information.

But because you're missing the structure.

You have the calling. You have the passion. You might even have some ideas.

But you don't have:

Clarity on your positioning
A framework for your offer
Proof this work is viable
A roadmap for the next 12 months

So you stay researching. Circling. Waiting for it to "click."

From Loss to Legacy gives you what's been missing:

✨ Week 1: Your story becomes your authority
✨ Week 2: Your purpose becomes your positioning
✨ Week 3: Your Money Map (proof this is viable)
✨ Week 4: Your 12-month roadmap

By the end of 4 weeks: you'll introduce yourself with complete confidence, articulate your approach in one clear sentence, and know exactly what you're offering.

No more circling.
Just clarity.

Usually $1,497 AUD
December only: $499 AUD

Starts January 14, 2026

Offer ends December 31, 2025

You already know this is your path. You just need the clarity to walk it.

Comment "CLARITY" or DM me. 💗

"If you run from your fear, it will always chase you. If you run at your fear, it will get the hell out of your way."

Guest

The emotions we avoid don't disappear—they build.
They get heavier.
They attract more worry.

But when we meet them head-on?
When we unpack the bag of worries?

They get smaller.

It's not comfortable.
It's never easy to face grief, fear, or uncertainty directly.
But avoidance keeps you stuck.

Processing sets you free.

From "I have to" to "I get to"—this is what mindset shifts look like in real life.

Guest

When Lauren discovered she needed full IVF instead of the simple procedure she'd planned, she had a choice: spiral into "why is this happening to me?" or find the gratitude in the challenge.

She chose gratitude.

Not toxic positivity.
Not bypassing the hard emotions.

But genuine appreciation for:

→ The chance to minimize risk for her future child
→ Access to the medical support she needs
→ The incredible women she's met along the way
→ The lifelong skills she's gaining through this journey

Here's the truth:

Fertility challenges teach us more than how to make a baby.

They teach us how to navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and find strength we didn't know we had.

These aren't just fertility skills—they're life skills.

You can't talk about your period. You can't talk about anything connected to your menstrual cycle.

Guest Kirsten .official

Unless you're pregnant. Then we'll listen.

But as long as you don't have a miscarriage - because nobody wants to talk about that.

The silence around:

Menstrual health
Pregnancy loss
Infertility
Reproductive challenges

These conversations aren't happening enough.

And here's what people don't understand: when you have underlying issues, they think it's going to be SO much work to fix.

Actually? It's going to be LESS work.

Because when it's targeted - when you're doing the exact right things for YOUR body - you start moving the needle.

It doesn't have to be hard. It doesn't have to be overwhelming and scary.

With the right guidance and support, these changes can be made quite simply.

We're breaking the silence.

We're having the conversations that should have been happening all along.

"I don't care if you get pregnant."
Let that land for a second.

Guest .official

Because here's what I DO care about:
you delivering a healthy, happy baby.

YOU being healthy.
You having a beautiful recovery.
You being ready for another baby if that's what you choose.

We're so obsessed with getting the positive pregnancy test.

The celebration.
The announcement.
The exuberance and jubilation.

But if we haven't done the work to figure out if we're ready to STAY pregnant?

We're setting ourselves up for heartbreak.

Getting pregnant is one thing.

Having the energy, the blood volume, the temperatures, the foundation to SUSTAIN that pregnancy?

That's everything.
And it starts BEFORE you try to conceive.

Your body needs to be ready.
Period.

Are you doing the work to prepare your body to stay pregnant, or are you just focused on getting that BFP?

Drop a 💭 if this perspective shift hit different for you.

"There is no research, none whatsoever, that supports the correlation between exercise and causing loss."

Guest .mama.fitness

Read that again.

Your walk didn't cause your miscarriage.
Your workout didn't kill your baby.
The squat, the jump, the moment you keep replaying—it wasn't your fault.

In fact, there are hundreds, if not thousands of articles supporting the benefits of exercise in a healthy pregnancy.

But here's what matters most:

"What is safe and appropriate for pregnancy might not feel safe to you. And that is a massive gray area."

What feels safe for one person might not feel safe for another.
And that's okay.

Your experience is valid.
Your fear is real.

And you deserve support that honors both the evidence AND what your body is telling you.

"I'm taking a mental health day."

Should be just as normal as saying "I have the flu."

But it's not. And that needs to change.

In this conversation with

we dive into why mental and physical health need to be treated with EQUAL importance—because the truth is, they're not separate.

Your body is a whole being.

Your mental health, physical health, emotional health, and spiritual health are all constantly communicating with each other.

When one suffers, the others suffer too.

You can't just:

❌ Ignore your mental health and expect your body to function
❌ Push through grief and expect no physical symptoms
❌ Dismiss your emotions and wonder why you're exhausted

After Shruti ignored her grief for 11 years, her body responded with panic attacks. Her unprocessed trauma became physical pain.

The healing didn't start until she addressed her mental health.

Imagine a workplace where you could say:

✨ "I'm feeling low today, I need a day off"
✨ "I have therapy this afternoon"
✨ "My mental health needs attention right now"

With ZERO shame. ZERO explanation needed. Just respect.

The same way we treat a doctor's appointment or a sick day.

That's the world we need to create.

🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear how Shruti went from hiding her therapy sessions ("I have a car repair") to openly advocating for mental health—and why breaking the stigma matters so much.

"Time heals all wounds." 🚫

Guest

Actually, no. That's only partial truth.

Time will heal—but ONLY if you actively address your grief.

It doesn't happen automatically. You can't just wait it out and expect the pain to magically disappear.

After losing her baby at 9 weeks on New Year's Eve 2011, pushed the grief aside. Got a job. Stayed busy. Thought she'd just "move on."

Then in 2017, she lost her identical twin boys at 23 weeks.

Again, she chose not to talk about it.
Threw away the grief support resources.
Told herself she had a family and didn't need therapy.

But every year, the panic attacks came back on the same dates.
It took 11 years before she finally sought help.

And that's when everything changed.

Her therapist told her the opposite of what everyone else had said:

✨ It's okay to cry in front of your kids
✨ Your feelings are valid
✨ This trauma needs to be addressed
✨ You're not "making it up"

The truth?
You have to participate in your healing.
You have to do the work.

Time doesn't heal. Time just passes.
