In this episode, valuable conversation about...
· Loss of identity, when now expecting
· Midwestern Nice … Toxic Positivity … Intention – Impact
· Things people say with “good intent”
· What you do for yourself, is for your baby
· Shifting the way we care for this community
“Where it becomes tricky is, if you are the person who identifies as the woman, you've got this like clock ticking ... getting older ... getting older and so we don't feel like we have the luxury to pause and mourn our grief or even acknowledge that we've had a loss.” - Desirae Whittle
