    Welcome to episode 27!

    How do you reclaim intimacy after the heartbreak of a miscarriage? Our latest episode tackles this deeply personal and often overlooked topic, offering insights and support for couples navigating this challenging journey. We begin by addressing the emotional and physical toll a miscarriage can have on women, including feelings of guilt and a diminished sense of self-worth. We'll explore the critical role men play in providing patience and emotional support, and how mutual communication can help rebuild the connection between partners.

    The episode also delves into the emotional complexities of trying to conceive post-miscarriage. Our conversation highlights how couples can retain mutual respect and love, even when faced with the anxiety and fears of another potential loss.

    Finally, we explore practical ways to support and care for your partner to maintain intimacy and connection. From small gestures like a spa day to meaningful conversations and simply being present, we offer actionable advice for couples. We emphasize that true intimacy involves recognizing and honoring each other's emotions and experiences, rather than just fulfilling physical desires.

    Join us for a heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of understanding, communication, and emotional intimacy in strengthening relationships after loss.

    Sincerely,
    Kelly & Chris

    Miscarriage, pregnancy anxiety, and baby loss—topics often shrouded in silence and stigma. What happens when your lifelong dream of motherhood is met with the harsh reality of a miscarriage? Elspeth, an actress from London, joins me to share her deeply personal journey through these challenges. From societal pressures to the psychological toll that comes with health uncertainties, we navigate the emotional landscape that many women endure.

    The early stages of pregnancy are a whirlwind of joy and trepidation. Elspeth shares her story of anticipation, the significance of the 12-week milestone, and the anxiety that accompanies every bodily change in a period of wait. We touch on the gut-wrenching moments when ultrasound expectations clash with harsh realities, painting a raw picture of what so many expectant parents face.

    Heartbreak is profound, especially when it involves the loss of a child. We open up about the importance of validating one's feelings and the necessity of open communication during such critical times. From naming our lost child to acknowledging the complex nature of emotional and practical support from loved ones, this episode aims to normalize conversations around miscarriage and baby loss. Through our collective stories, we hope to offer solace and a sense of community to those walking a similar path.

    Thank you for tuning in to find solace, gain understanding, and embark on your healing journey with us!

    Kelly & Chris
