What happens when the person caring for you has walked through loss, too?

In this episode of The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast, Peyton sits down with Heather LaVigne, a nurse practitioner turned author, teacher, and ministry partner, who brings both professional experience and her own journey through infertility and pregnancy loss.

Together, they talk about:

• What it’s like to experience loss from both sides of the room
• The gaps in care and the moments that matter most
• How presence, acknowledgment, and compassion can shape a mother’s experience

Heather shares from her own 10-year journey through infertility and loss, as well as her time caring for patients in the medical field. She offers an honest look at how personal experience can shape the way care is given, and the importance of slowing down and truly seeing the person in front of you.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that meaningful care doesn’t always require the right words, but it does require compassion, awareness, and a willingness to be present.
