After losing her first-born baby triplet sons to their premature birth, Sophie Smith is now the founder of the Running For Premature Babies Foundation dedicated to giving premature babies a better chance of survival.
Sophie's story is one of absolute courage and in this episode, she shares her journey from losing her triplets to turning her grief into purpose & meaning.
This was one of the hardest podcasts I've recorded to date and it's not often that I'm physically affected.
