The Other Side of Motherhood – Bec Bond on Loss, Grief & Sharing all the Raw Emotions that come with it

In this episode, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with the beautiful Bec Bond — an incredible pregnancy, newborn, and family photographer, and a truly courageous voice for families navigating the unimaginable.

When Bec and her husband Corbin decided to grow their family after a ‘textbook’ pregnancy and birth with their first child, they never imagined their journey would take such a heartbreaking turn.

After passing the early milestones — the NIPT (harmony) testing and the “safe” 12-week mark — it was at their 20-week scan that they received devastating news: news no parents should ever have to hear, and that would mean they would not be bringing their little boy home.

The past 12 months have been an incredibly tough road of grief, loss, and unimaginable resilience for Bec and her family.

Through it all, Bec has been bravely vulnerable, sharing her journey so openly through her photography business and social platforms — not only as a way to process her own grief, but to raise awareness and help others walking a similar path feel less alone.

⚠️ A gentle trigger warning:This episode contains open and honest discussions around infant loss and miscarriage. Please listen when and if you feel ready, and prioritise your own wellbeing first. 💛

🎙️ A little heads-up:We weren’t able to record in a studio for this one, so there’s a little background noise here and there — but the heart and importance of this conversation shine right through.

💬 We talk:

• Navigating grief and loss after pregnancy

• The emotional toll of infant loss

• Finding strength in vulnerability and community

• Raising awareness through storytelling

• Honouring the babies who are forever part of our families

  
  

Bec, thank you for being such a light and a voice for so many others. Your courage and openness are so powerful — and you should be so incredibly proud. We are grateful to share this conversation with you all.

We hope this episode reminds anyone going through loss that they are not alone. 🧡
