Bound by Love

In this episode, I chat to Lisa De Sanctis, mum to Frederick and Evelyn, about experiencing miscarriage after two uncomplicated pregnancies. Lisa's third pregnancy was unexpected but deeply welcomed, and she quickly began imagining life as a family of five. While away on a family holiday, she began bleeding, followed by days of uncertainty before learning the pregnancy wasn't viable.
Lisa speaks candidly about miscarrying naturally, continuing to parent two young children, and the months afterwards when she realised she still wasn't herself. We also talk about sharing loss publicly, finding comfort in connection, approaching her baby's due date without being pregnant again, and the uncertainty of whether they will try for another baby.
It's an honest conversation about the grief that continues long after the physical loss, and the fact that not every story needs to end with another pregnancy.

In this episode, I chat to Abbey, mum to Parker and newborn Oakley, about experiencing three miscarriages while trying to grow her family. After falling pregnant easily with Parker, Abbey never expected trying for their second child to become so consuming. She shares her first miscarriage over Christmas, the two losses that followed, and how trying to conceive began to affect her mental health and relationship.
Abbey also speaks honestly about the guilt of grieving while already having a healthy child, why she decided to share her losses publicly, and the anxiety that followed her throughout her pregnancy with Oakley. It's a beautiful conversation about allowing yourself to grieve, no matter how early the loss, and the importance of simply holding space for someone when there are no words that can fix it.

In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Mitchell to hear the story of her daughter, Maggie. Danielle shares the uncertainty of her pregnancy, navigating HG and anxiety while waiting through scans, appointments and answers that continually changed. At the same time, her nan, who raised her, was in palliative care, leaving Danielle moving between two deeply painful experiences with little space to process either.

After receiving devastating news about Maggie's health, Danielle and her partner Nathan faced a decision no parent expects to make. Danielle speaks openly about termination for medical reasons, the doubt and grief surrounding their decision, and what it was like to continue feeling Maggie move while preparing to say goodbye.

She also shares Maggie's birth, an experience she describes as both heartbreaking and beautiful, and the ways their family continues to parent and remember her. From Maggie's “Forever Bed” to the room they've created for her at home, Danielle's story is one of love, motherhood and refusing to let silence make another family feel alone.
