“Until I went through it firsthand, I had no idea… I had read every book, I had gone to conferences. I knew as much as I could and informed myself the best I could, but until it happened to me, I really couldn't relate.” -Dr. Jessica Zucker Jessica Zucker, a leading psychologist in reproductive and maternal mental health, and the author of the award-winning book I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement, shared her unfiltered story of loss, survival, and self-compassion - how facing pregnancy loss and breast cancer reshaped her understanding of healing and the stories we tell ourselves. Through the viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign she created, she shows the transformative power of storytelling in healing. Together we also discussed motherhood, the weight and quiet toll of societal stigma, and navigating breast cancer, and the impossible balance of caring for her family, patients, and her own mental health. Dr. Zucker’s second book, NORMALIZE IT: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives, continues to normalize these conversations. National publications including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Vogue among others, have highlighted Dr. Zucker’s voice and the critical role of destigmatizing women’s health topics to replace shame and instead foster understanding, support and needed research. If you or someone you know is navigating miscarriage, pregnancy loss, breast cancer, this episode offers insight, hope, and practical guidance. It’s a conversation about reclaiming your voice, your health, and finding resilience.
