Today’s episode is going to be covering a very deep (and not always easy) topic, but it’s one that I knew I wanted to share on my podcast too. I’m honored to have Kaitlin Cox here to talk more about her motherhood journey, and more specifically, the journey of loss.

Kaitlin is a beautiful individual who embraces the many roles in her life, and she’s also experienced her fair share of heartache along the way. We’re talking more about Kaitlin’s journey into motherhood, and what motherhood through loss has looked like for her. From dealing with a miscarriage and a PCOS diagnosis, to the tragic loss of her baby toward the end of her pregnancy, Kaitlin’s path to motherhood has been anything but smooth.

In this episode, we cover:

Kaitlin’s first miscarriage, which ultimately led to her receiving a PCOS diagnosis
Kaitlin’s second pregnancy, and the heartbreaking experience that transpired with her second baby
The emotional rawness and complete uncertainty that comes after experiencing a loss
Leaning into God/your faith during hard seasons in life, and understanding that you’re not meant to know the reasoning behind everything while here on Earth
Finding patience and contentment after loss + looking for the ‘good’ in every situation, even when it seems impossible at first
How valuable finding community and talking with others who have experienced a loss can be
Why you should never feel like you need to minimize your pain or downplay the loss of your child
Being kind to yourself and celebrating your wins throughout motherhood (no matter how big or small)
