This week in the Speakeasy Studio, I’m joined by the remarkable Taylor Connery for a powerful and deeply personal conversation. Taylor opens up about her journey with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) — a rare and severe pregnancy complication that affects fewer than 3% of women, yet can turn what’s often portrayed as a “glowing” time into a fight for survival.

Taylor courageously shares what it was like to face HG not once, but four times. She takes us through the physical challenges, the emotional toll, and the moments of strength that carried her through each pregnancy. With honesty and warmth, Taylor also talks about the support system that became her lifeline — and how those experiences inspired her to start a support group to help other women facing HG feel seen, understood, and less alone.

This episode sheds light on a condition that’s rarely talked about, while celebrating the power of resilience, community, and the voices of women turning their pain into purpose.
