Episode Description

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Tara sits down with psychologist and author Jessica Zucker, founder of the viral #IHadAMiscarriage movement, to discuss the profound impact of sharing personal stories about miscarriage and women’s health. Together, they unpack how storytelling can be both a form of healing and a catalyst for cultural change. Tara shares how Jessica's work personally impacted her and gave her the confidence to share with her own story of loss. From breaking the silence around pregnancy loss to challenging long-held stigmas, Tara and Jessica explore how vulnerability can create connection and why open, honest conversations are essential for women everywhere.

Their discussion explores the modern realities of motherhood, including the pressures shaped by social media, the influence of cultural expectations, and the importance of raising daughters who feel empowered to speak openly about their bodies and emotions.

Ultimately, this episode is a call to normalize women’s health conversations, celebrate the strength in shared experience, and remind listeners that no one has to navigate these challenges alone.

If you've ever felt like no one would understand your story, listen to this episode.
