Ep 83: From Loss to Legacy: Turning your story into Trauma-Informed support work

+ Behind the Certification, the Business, and the Bigger Why

Welcome to a new chapter of the What I Wish I Knew Beyond Loss podcast — where healing, purpose, and legacy intersect.

In today’s deeply personal and powerful episode, I take you behind the scenes of the evolution of this space — and share why I expanded the podcast (and my entire business) to speak not only to grief, but to what comes after.

We’re diving into:

• The real moment that changed everything for me

• Why so many women feel the call to support others after pregnancy loss — but don’t know where to start

• The gaps in current systems and the emotional toll of unsupported grief • What inspired me to create the Pregnancy Loss & Trauma-Informed Practitioner Certification

• How you can turn your lived experience into meaningful, trauma-informed, structured support for others

• The truth about burnout, boundaries, and building a sustainable business in a sensitive space Whether you’re navigating your own healing, supporting others through loss, or feeling the pull to do more with your story — this episode will meet you where you are and gently invite you forward.

Because support after loss shouldn’t be guesswork.

It should be trauma-informed, embodied, and rooted in real understanding. ⸻ 💛
