In this deeply personal episode, Katie opens up about her experience with her miscarriage. This is not an easy conversation, and it may be triggering for some listeners. Katie and Sam want to acknowledge that the topic of pregnancy loss can evoke strong emotions, so please proceed with caution if you think it might be difficult for you to hear.
Though this episode is heavier, it’s an important conversation to have. Katie and Sam believe in the power of vulnerability, and hope that by sharing their journeys, they can help others who are going through similar experiences feel less alone. If you’re ready to listen, we encourage you to tune in, but please remember to take care of yourself first. You are not alone.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of miscarriage and loss. Please listen with care.
