Christina is a trooper! She came on the podcast at just 5 weeks postpartum with her beautiful earth side baby girl. We talk about the difficulties of postpartum life, the challenges of asking for help, the sleep deprivation, the love, all of it. We delve into her motherhood journey that started with back to back losses. Christina experienced a miscarriage at 8 weeks and we talk about how frightening and devastating that was. And then her beautiful boy was born still at 18 weeks. She named him Hope-Song because he represents hope for their family and he is the song in her heart. Christina is incredibly poetic and she hopes to one day release a memoir. I know this memoir will help so many moms feel validated in their motherhood journeys that include devastating loss. We then discuss her pregnancy with her earth side daughter and her birth where she experienced the most beautiful sign from her son in heaven: flickering lights throughout the labour.
Connect with Christina on Instagram here. She posts beautiful, heartfelt poems that capture her motherhood journey.
