Did you know October is Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month?

Today’s guest, Lauren, unfortunately, is all too familiar with the hurt and grief that comes along with the loss of multiple miscarriages. However, Lauren’s story is one of redemption and hope. Lauren, an extraordinary and courageous woman, is deeply devoted to her faith. She is married to Kyle and is the loving mother of her now three-month-old daughter, Macie. During our conversation, Lauren generously shared her personal journey, revealing how the trials she went through profoundly enriched her faith. She discovered that even in moments when she felt distant from God, He was steadfastly holding her together. We explore themes of trust, building intimate connections through adversity, and the significance of embracing our emotions, as well as the vital role of community during challenging times. If you or someone you know has experienced a similar loss, I hope that this episode will give you hope and encourage you to reach out to your community for support.
