Breaking the Silence: The Power of Say Their Name Day

The silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss can be deafening—but every baby’s name deserves to be spoken. In this episode of the No Foot Too Small Podcast, Fiona Ellis-Jones (Fee), ambassador for Red Nose Australia, joins hosts Jackie Celske and Robin Boudreau to share her powerful story and the impact of Say Their Name Day—a global movement encouraging families to honor their babies out loud. Fee opens up about her twin pregnancy, where she tragically lost her daughter, Elizabeth, while carrying her surviving son, Banski. She reflects on the emotional challenges of grieving while still pregnant, the support she found in Red Nose Australia, and why advocacy and community are vital for families navigating loss. Together, they discuss the progress being made in normalizing conversations about pregnancy and infant loss, the importance of recognizing grieving fathers and siblings, and how policy changes, research, and awareness can help break the stigma.
