In this raw and powerful first instalment of a two-part series, host Sharna Southan sits down with Lindsey Paulson—mother, consultant, and host of The Mess to Mission podcast—to unpack the multifaceted journey of pregnancy loss and the unspoken depths of grief.
Lindsey shares her experience of five pregnancy losses, including a most recent and traumatic one during Thanksgiving 2024. With remarkable honesty, she describes the emotional toll of grieving while parenting, the failures of the medical system, and the visceral reality of miscarriage that’s often glossed over or silenced.
Together, Sharna and Lindsey challenge the societal conditioning that teaches women to suppress their intuition and defer to authority, often at the cost of their health and wellbeing. They speak candidly about what it means to advocate for yourself, to process trauma in your own time, and to resist letting loss define your identity.
This is not just a story of grief—it’s a blueprint for reclaiming your voice, trusting your body, and holding compassion for every version of yourself along the way.
✨ Make sure to tune in to Part Two for the continuation of this deeply resonant conversation.
