In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode of Beyond the Beautiful Chaos, host Alisha shares the raw and emotional story of her recent pregnancy loss due to a biochemical pregnancy. After a few months of trying, Alisha and her husband were overjoyed to see a positive test—but the joy was short-lived. A follow-up blood test revealed dropping HCG levels, confirming an early loss.
Alisha opens up about the heartbreak, confusion, and invisible grief that often accompanies early miscarriage. She reflects on how she coped in the days that followed—leaning on her husband and children, lowering expectations, and finding grounding through mindfulness and movement.
This episode is a tender offering of solidarity to anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss. Alisha speaks directly from the heart, honoring the complexity of grief while gently encouraging others to feel their feelings, seek support, and know they are not alone.
