In this powerful episode, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow board member Jenna, a mother who knows the depths of unimaginable loss. Jenna’s son, Tripp, was born after a terrifying delivery and spent ten days in the NICU before she faced the unthinkable—leaving the hospital without him.

Ten years later, she continues to honor Tripp’s memory through Tripp’s 10 Days of Giving, sponsoring a classroom each year to represent the grade he would be in. She speaks about turning her grief into passion, using his name for good, and ensuring his legacy lives on. And in the most heartfelt ending, she shares the one thing she would tell Tripp if she could—"I would find you and choose you in every lifetime."

This is an episode about grief, resilience, and love that never fades. Tune in for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends. 🎧💙

In this episode, Deana shares the heartbreaking journey of losing her son Rett to cancer at just 10 months old.

In the nine years since Rett's passing, Deana and her husband have channeled their grief into creating a non-profit organization. The non-profit offers holistic retreats and meaningful gatherings that foster connection, honor the grieving process, and emphasize the healing power of love. Deana's story is one of resilience, profound loss, and the transformative journey of turning grief into something that supports others.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-empty-arms-podcast/id1725051722?i=1000685050469

This week I sit down with Lindsay Dolloff, an OB nurse whose journey through loss has reshaped her perspective both personally and professionally. Lindsay experienced a partial molar pregnancy, an incredibly rare and devastating complication, which resulted in a miscarriage at 12 weeks.

In this episode, we explore the courage it takes to live your loss out loud and Lindsay delves into how openly sharing her journey has been an act of courage, allowing her to reclaim her story and find meaning in her pain. By speaking about her experience, she not only fosters healing for herself but also creates space for others to feel seen and understood. Living your loss out loud is about breaking the silence around grief, embracing vulnerability, and finding strength in community.

I am looking for 4-5 early loss mamas (earlier than 12 weeks) to jump on a podcast episode with me together and chat all things early loss as a group. Kind of like a round table discussion. If you are interested, shoot me a PM or email me at [email protected].

If you know someone who might be interested, tag them or send this their way. Thanks! 2025 is gearing up to be an exciting podcast year!

I participated in the most beautiful and powerful photography session a few days ago with Andrea Munson Photography. Though the 1 in 4 title means heartache and walking the most desolate and lonely of paths, it also means walking amongst the strongest women I know.

Thank you, Andrea. I’ll cherish these forever. 💙🤍
