    EP140: Six Losses, one foundation: Guest Catherine MacLennan on building the support she never dad

    Ready to stop wondering what you're here to build? If something in this episode landed for you — if you recognised yourself in it, either as a woman who has lived through pregnancy loss or as a practitioner who has felt the gap in your own work — I want to invite you into Loss to Legacy. It's my four-week immersion for women ready to move from "maybe there's something I'm meant to do with this" to complete clarity on your story, your purpose, and what you're actually here to build. Not a business course. Not a certification. The step that comes before all of it. 📅 Starts 4th August 🤍 FIVE spots only DM me LEGACY on Instagram: @reproductivelossleadership   Now into the show. Catherine MacLennan has been through six pregnancy losses — three of them in the second trimester, all of them traumatic. When she went looking for support, she found almost none. So she built it herself: first the Pinks and Blues, a peer support community, and later the Vilomah Foundation, a UK charity offering free, ongoing support to anyone navigating pregnancy loss or pregnancy after loss. In this conversation, we talk about what rarely gets named out loud: the trauma that doesn't get validated, the identity that has to be rebuilt from scratch, the partners grieving in silence because they didn't "physically" go through it, and the grandparents mourning a grandchild they never met. We also get into Catherine's workplace training — what happens when a compassionate manager gets replaced by a tick-box HR process, and why the way an organisation responds to loss determines whether an employee comes back at all. This is a conversation about grief without a timeline, about validation, and about what it actually looks like to build the support system that should have existed all along. In This Episode Catherine's story: six pregnancy losses and the search for support that wasn't there Why she started the Pinks and Blues, and later the Vilomah Foundation How Vilomah supports people through Zoom — free sessions, no limit, from loss through pregnancy after loss The silence and shame around pregnancy loss, and why validation matters so much Naming trauma: what it meant for Catherine to hear a therapist call her experience traumatic Miscarriage awareness gaps — including that UK miscarriage is recognized up to 24 weeks The identity shift after loss: redefining who you are when everything gets stripped back Supporting partners: why their grief is valid even when they "didn't go through it physically" The ripple effect on grandparents and extended family Pregnancy loss in the workplace: compassionate management vs. tick-box HR The UK's new pregnancy loss bereavement leave law, and what it does (and doesn't yet) cover Why grief has no timeline — and what workplaces can do to make room for that About Catherine MacLennan Catherine MacLennan is the founder of the Vilomah Foundation, a UK-based pregnancy loss support and charity organization dedicated to walking alongside families through one of the most profound losses. As a specialist coach, Catherine offers personalised support to individuals and couples navigating pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss, and delivers workplace training on how organizations can support employees through pregnancy loss.

    EP139: The silo effect: Why your doctors aren't seeing the whole picture - Guest Dr Marc Sklar

    The preconception conversation that nobody is having — what pregnancy loss actually does to the body before the next pregnancy, and why standard care is missing the layer that matters most. Join my FREE live training Preconception Readiness After Loss, Wednesday 8th July, 9:30am AEST. Register HERE   Dr. Marc Sklar — natural fertility specialist, Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Medical Institute-trained, Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, creator of Fertility TV, co-founder of Rejuve Fertility, and founder of Reproductive Wellness Clinics in San Diego. In this episode: Sharna sits down with Dr. Marc Sklar for a conversation about what's actually missing from most fertility care — a whole-body, whole-person view. They dig into why so many couples are told their journey is "unexplained," and why that label often just means no one looked past their own specialty. Topics covered: Why digestive health shows up in an estimated 70–75% of the fertility cases Dr. Sklar sees The "silo problem" in modern medicine — why your gynecologist, endocrinologist, and therapist rarely talk to each other, and what gets missed in the gaps Sharna's own journey through an inflammatory bowel misdiagnosis, a missed miscarriage, and finding an integrative doctor who finally treated her as one connected system Why fear-based medicine keeps couples stuck on the "IVF hamster wheel" The age "light switch" myth — reframing fertility decline as a dimmer switch, not a deadline Nervous system regulation and why the body won't prioritize reproduction in survival mode Trusting intuition and body-based decision-making over purely logical, fear-driven choices Why creating space — not pushing harder — is often the actual path forward after loss A key moment: Dr. Sklar's take on the "birthday deadline" belief many patients carry, and why treating fertility as a light switch instead of a dimmer does real harm.

    EP138: When your body fears what your heart wants: Tokophobia, Reproductive Anxiety Disorder — with Alexia Leachman

    The preconception conversation that nobody is having — what pregnancy loss actually does to the body before the next pregnancy, and why standard care is missing the layer that matters most. Join my FREE live training Preconception Readiness After Loss, Wednesday 8th July, 9:30am AEST. Register HERE   Now for todays episode: Some women know they want to be a mother. And yet something inside them, something wordless, something physical, makes every step toward that feel impossible. Not because they don't want it. Because their nervous system has decided it isn't safe. That experience finally has a name. In this episode, I'm joined by Alexia Leachman, founder of Fearless Birthing, creator of the Head Trash Clearance Method, and the originator of Reproductive Anxiety Disorder (RAD). After her own pregnancy loss and a journey to understand a fear she couldn't explain, Alexia has spent over a decade helping women and professionals understand what happens when the body fears what the heart wants most. This conversation goes deep, and it might give you language you've been searching for your whole life.   We cover: What tokophobia actually is — and why so many women live with it without ever knowing it has a name The moment Alexia calls "the casse" — when a pregnancy test broke something open inside her that she couldn't explain How pregnancy loss intersects with tokophobia, including women who terminate wanted pregnancies because their nervous system cannot tolerate being pregnant Why the root of reproductive fear is often pre-verbal — rooted in your own birth, your mother's nervous system, and intergenerational trauma Reproductive Anxiety Disorder: why Alexia believes tokophobia is far bigger than one window of a woman's life, and how it shows up from puberty through perimenopause How unresolved reproductive fear affects fertility — and why the body won't allow conception when it doesn't feel safe to birth The Head Trash Clearance Method: why Alexia built it, how it works with the energy system to clear fear from the body, and why she believes in getting rid of anxiety rather than managing it What it looks like when two daughters are born into very different nervous system environments — and how Alexia sees that playing out now Why professionals — therapists, midwives, doulas, GPs — need to know this framework, and what screening for RAD could change for women everywhere     Connect with Alexia www.head-trash.com   www.fearless-birthing.com  https://www.facebook.com/alexia.leachman  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexialeachman/ Podcasts: Fear Free Childbirth Head Trash & Healing Show Tik-Tokophobia   Resources mentioned: Alexia's main hub: headtrash.com Fearless Birthing: fearlessbirthing.com Personal site & private work: alexialeachman.com RAD white paper (free download): fearlessbirthing.com/whitepaper Free 1-hour professional training on tokophobia and RAD available via Fearless Birthing Books: Betrayed by Your Biology, Fearless Birthing, Clear Anxiety for Good   If this episode resonated with you: If you're a woman who has felt confused, broken, or ashamed by your relationship with pregnancy, fertility, or birth — this episode was made for you. You are not broken. Your body has been trying to protect you. And there is a path through. If you're a practitioner who works with women in their reproductive years — this is the framework your training didn't give you. Understanding tokophobia and RAD could change everything about how you show up for your clients.

    EP137: The grief nobody talks about: Abortion, trauma, and the emotions you're allowed to feel- Guest Shalina

    In this episode, Sharna sits down with Shalina Lodhia, criminologist counsellor and founder of a trauma-informed practice specialising in intergenerational trauma, domestic and family violence, and abortion grief. Shalina shares her own deeply personal experience of navigating abortion, twice, under very different life circumstances, and what she's learned about the grief that so often follows in silence. This is a conversation about the emotions no one tells you it's okay to feel. The paradox of relief and loss. The isolation of having to hide an experience that your body is living through. And the complete absence of support that so many women encounter both during and after. In this episode, Shalina and Sharna explore: The emotional reality of having an abortion at 23, in hiding, with no support and no information about what comes after How the experience shifted in her thirties as awareness, spirituality, and self-knowledge changed how she processed the grief Why the medical system so often fails women in these moments, treating them as a number rather than a human being in distress The paradox of conflicting emotions, relief, grief, guilt, peace, and why all of them are valid at the same time The role of intergenerational trauma and why, for some women, the decision not to continue a pregnancy is an act of conscious cycle-breaking How Shalina now supports other women through abortion grief, including those in abusive relationships navigating impossible choices Why post-abortion support is one of the most overlooked gaps in women's healthcare in Australia A message for anyone listening: Whatever your reason for having an abortion, it is valid. You are allowed to feel every emotion, including ones that seem to contradict each other. You are not alone in this.

    Pregnancy loss is not being fully understood, and because of it, it is not being fully supported. Join the free community to access all three replays: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thereproductivelossleadershipnetwork  In Day 1 of The Missing Piece Masterclass, Sharna opens with the foundational question: what has the entire field been getting wrong, and what is it costing your clients? She walks through: Why the medical system classifies pregnancy loss as a resolved event once bleeding stops, and why that's dangerously incomplete The somatic blind spot: why talk therapy alone cannot reach trauma stored in the body, the nervous system, and the cells The language gap: how the words society and providers use flatten a woman's experience and prolong her healing The systemic gap: why practitioners aren't failing their clients, the system they were trained inside is Day 2 covers the science.

    EP135: The hidden losses inside an infertility journey — with Natasha D'Arcangelo

    If you have ever felt the ceiling in your practice — or lived the gap in pregnancy loss support yourself — The Missing Piece is a FREE 3-day masterclass where we name what traditional grief support has been missing and build the framework bereaved mothers actually deserve. Starts 1st June - Join HERE     What does grief look like when there's no baby to mourn — but the losses keep coming anyway? In this episode, I sit down with Natasha D'Arcangelo, licensed mental health counsellor and Chief Clinical Officer at LB Health, to talk about a side of reproductive loss that rarely gets named: the cumulative grief of infertility. Natasha shares her own ten-year journey to motherhood — including two rounds of IVF, four fibroid removal surgeries, a hysterectomy at 35, a failed domestic adoption match, and an international adoption process that spanned a global pandemic. It's a story full of grief, resilience, plot twists, and hard-won wisdom. But this episode isn't just personal. Natasha brings her clinical lens to everything — and the result is a conversation that's equal parts raw and practical. In this episode we cover: Why infertility is a grief experience, even when there's never been a positive pregnancy test The shame spiral of feeling like your body "had one job" — and how therapy helped Natasha recognise and release that narrative What it's really like to match with a birth mother, prepare your home, and then have it fall through The layers of loss inside adoption journeys that people rarely talk about How to find the right therapist (and why it's okay — expected, even — to try more than one) Red flags to watch for in a therapeutic relationship Why the people around you, however well-meaning, often make it worse — and what actually helps The unexpected role her dog played in pulling her out of depression Connect with Natasha: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasha-darcangelo/ www.natashalmhc.com    If this episode resonated with you, you might also be interested in exploring what it means to process reproductive loss as trauma — not just grief.

    EP134: Fertility awareness, Cycle literacy & reclaiming trust with Guest Emma Goff

    If you have ever felt the ceiling in your practice — or lived the gap in pregnancy loss support yourself — The Missing Piece is a free three day masterclass where we name what traditional grief support has been missing and build the framework bereaved mothers actually deserve. Starts 1st June - Join HERE   What if your menstrual cycle had been trying to tell you something for years, and no one ever taught you how to listen? In this episode, Sharna sits down with Emma Goff, certified fertility awareness educator, miscarriage doula, and host of the Cyclical Doula Podcast. Emma works at the intersection of cycle literacy, body trust, and reproductive loss, and this conversation is one of the most practically empowering episodes we've recorded. Emma shares her own journey into this work — including growing up as the child of a mother who experienced multiple pregnancy losses — and how that shaped the deeply attuned, cyclical support she now offers women navigating fertility, loss, and everything in between. In this episode we cover: Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign — and what it might be telling you about your reproductive health right now The impact of long-term hormonal birth control on ovulation and cycle health — and what "coming back online" actually looks like What to expect from your body after pregnancy loss (including the often-overlooked postpartum experience that follows every loss) How to begin tracking your cycle after loss using cervical fluid and basal body temperature — and why this can be profoundly empowering Why that first bleed after loss doesn't have to blindside you — and how cycle awareness can help you prepare emotionally and physically The fertility window, subsequent pregnancy anxiety, and trusting your body to show you when it's ready How Emma walks beside her clients through pregnancy, loss, and beyond — as a cyclical doula, not just a birth professional Using fertility awareness methods to avoid pregnancy after loss without returning to hormonal contraception This episode is for every woman who was handed a pill and never once asked how her cycle actually worked. It's for the woman who felt something was wrong for years and was told she was fine. And it's for the woman standing on the other side of loss, wondering how to find her way back to her body.

    EP133: I wanted to unzip my flesh and float away. TFMR with Guest Kate Carson on somatic healing after loss

    The Missing Piece Masterclass | June 1st Many bereaved mothers are still moving through pregnancy loss feeling unseen, unsupported, or expected to "move on" before their nervous systems have ever truly processed what happened. And many practitioners are doing their absolute best… while quietly sensing there is still something missing. The medical system calls it a medical event. Traditional training calls it grief. But pregnancy loss is trauma. And trauma lives in the body. Join me for a free masterclass exploring: ✨ THE GAP – What traditional training misses ✨ THE SCIENCE – The neuroscience of reproductive trauma ✨ THE SOLUTION – The trauma-informed approach that works This is not just another training. It's an invitation into deeper understanding. Register: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thereproductivelossleadershipnetwork  I'm genuinely so excited to hold this space with you 🤍   NOW on to the Episode:  In this deeply honest conversation, I'm joined again by Kate Carson — somatic love, sex, and relationship coach and long-time admin of the Ending a Wanted Pregnancy support group — to talk about one of the most overlooked dimensions of pregnancy loss recovery: the relationship between a woman and her own body. Kate shares her own story of losing her daughter Laurel at 35 weeks, travelling to Colorado for termination care, and the years of somatic discovery that followed. What began as a desperate wish to "unzip the flesh and float away" became the foundation of her entire healing philosophy — and her life's work. In this episode, we explore: Why 97% of women are already in a strained relationship with their bodies before loss — and what reproductive trauma does on top of that The difference between grief, depression, and trauma in the body (and how to feel the distinction from the inside) Why retelling your story over and over can be more retraumatizing than healing — and what to do instead The postpartum reality no one talks about when your baby doesn't come home: hormones, milk, pelvic floor, and the cascade that happens regardless Practical nervous system regulation tools you can use in the acute stages of grief — including vagal toning, movement as cycle completion, and the 30-second surrender practice Why "next kind thing" is more useful than "love your body" when you're deep in the shadow world How peer support groups can be the premium product in grief recovery — and why lived experience matters alongside clinical training The truth that your body only ever reveals what you're ready for This conversation is a permission slip to stop fighting your body and start listening to it — because everything you need to heal is already in there.
