In this heartfelt episode of Spearhead Conversations, host Xavier Mercado sits down with Emily Landers, founder of A Little Something, A Lot of Love. A mother of three and former teacher, Emily shares how her own miscarriage at 15 weeks inspired her mission to support families experiencing pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
Emily’s “joy bombs”—care packages filled with items like gemstone bracelets, rainbow prisms, and handwritten notes—offer comfort and hope to grieving families. Supported by local businesses and her community, Emily reflects on the overwhelming response to her initiative and the fulfillment she finds in helping others heal.
Throughout the episode, Emily discusses the importance of breaking taboos around pregnancy loss and fostering conversations that make grief less isolating. With personal stories and deep empathy, she highlights how her work has brought solace to many, turning her own pain into a source of light for others.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about compassion, community, and finding purpose in the wake of loss.
