Rachel and I couldn’t stop thinking about this part of the conversation with Dr. Jessica Zucker (@ihadamiscarriage) the idea of replacing silence with storytelling. We talked about how often women are taught to keep quiet about their lived experiences: miscarriage, menstruation, reproductive health, cancer. There’s a heavy cultural shame wrapped around these things, and it can leave us feeling isolated right when we most need connection. We’ve both experienced how sharing something vulnerable can backfire, being met with silver linings or discomfort instead of true empathy. And sometimes, that hurts more than staying silent. This conversation isn’t just about grief or loss. It’s about making space for truth without shame so we can raise kids who grow up knowing it’s safe to speak up and be real. 🎧 Catch the full episode wherever you listen to podcasts. #EmotionalIntelligence #IHadaMiscarriage #JessicaZucker #NormalizeIt #ReproductiveHealth #MiscarriageAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingSupport #GriefSupport #StorytellingHeals
