Carla releases a podcast every Friday
In this moving episode (going live this Friday) I spend a heartfelt couple of hours on the couch with my dear friend, Maria. She shares her undulating journey of motherhood, one that involves early pregnancy loss, as well as two stillbirths. Maria speaks to the challenges of birth and death, grief and shame, and how she found hope, love and strength streaming through the murkiness of it all.
✨
Maria lost her daughter, Brooke, at 38 weeks of pregnancy back when she was a solo Mum. She later birthed her boy, now 16, via an induced, hospital birth. When he was eight she met her husband, and became a step mum to his three children. Together they decided on bringing another baby into the world. In January this year, River Hawk was born still. He died during his birth.
✨
Maria vulnerably and lovingly shares her story with us all, providing a guiding light for those who may navigate the death of their own precious baby, or who meet the challenges of supporting a loved one through baby loss.
✨
In this episode we discuss the following:
early pregnancy loss
stillbirth
solo parenthood
step parenthood
induction & epidural
home birth
psychedelics & plant medicines
PTSD & therapy
