Navigating Baby Loss As A Business Owner with Debbie Danon

The Eleshia Show

Oct 12 2022 • 53 mins

Did you know that around 1 in 5 pregnancies ends in miscarriage?

That equates to around a quarter of a million losses every year in the UK and even more in the US.

Yet despite how common it is, many women don’t share their experiences or the grief, trauma, and heartbreak they have experienced.

We often feel that we’ve failed or that we’ve somehow caused the pregnancy loss or haven’t yet announced the pregnancy so cannot express our grief to others.

Then we’re faced with dealing with a medical system that often isn’t set up to address the emotional trauma, undergo medical procedures, and deal with our sense of loss, all whilst doing our best to hold our lives together, despite the overwhelming emotions we’re experiencing.

I know exactly how distressing this can be because before I had my daughter Elessandra, I suffered from a miscarriage too and found that there was very little support for women like me.

That’s why, when I sat down with Leadership Consultant and certified Integral Development Coach and founder of Time to Flourish, Debbie Danon, and discovered that she had experienced the same, I decided to dedicate an entire episode of the podcast to talking about what we have both been through.

Hopefully, this will give strength to other women and help them work through their loss with the support and understanding of community. ❤

Listen to this episode to discover:

  • How breaking the silence about baby loss and leaning on community can bring us strength during difficult times
  • Why it’s so important to help others feel heard, not try to make them feel better
  • GUILT, grief, and blame and why we need to give ourselves grace when life gets tough
  • Why it’s so vital to speak to our partners about how they feel about the loss too
  • How focusing on our own well-being and NOT trying to be superwoman can help us come to terms with loss

And much more! Listen below.
