Have you lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or SIDS? Do you feel like no one understands the depth of your grief? Maybe you’re angry, bitter, depressed—or drowning in a sea of emotions that feel impossible to name, let alone explain. Perhaps you’ve heard well-meaning but hurtful comments or received advice that made you feel even more isolated. You might be wondering, Where is God in all of this? Or why our country hasn’t done more to prevent stillbirths and support grieving families.

You are not alone. And this podcast is for you.

I’m Lisa Rowell. In 2013, I gave birth to my stillborn daughter, Julianna Grace. That moment shattered my world. I didn’t know how to survive the pain. I wrestled with God, with grief, with questions no one seemed to want to answer. Ten years ago, I found myself on the edge of despair, holding a bottle of liquor and a handful of pills, ready to give up—until God stepped in and changed everything.

From the ashes of that heartbreak, a calling was born.

Through The Silent Footprints, I invite you into a space that is real, raw, and unapologetically honest about infant loss. Here, we break the silence and stigma around miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and early infant death. We talk about what it's like to grieve in a world that doesn’t know what to say—and how to heal when your heart feels shattered.

My Christian faith has been the foundation of my journey, and it’s through God’s strength that I found purpose in my pain. I started the Julianna Grace Ministry by creating grieving baskets for parents like me. That effort grew into funding cuddle cots and caring cradles for local hospitals—tools that allow families precious time with their babies. Later, God opened the door for me to help pass legislation in Louisiana, offering tax credits to families of stillborn babies and giving dignity through certificates of miscarriage.

This podcast isn’t just about healing—it's about action. I believe we can change the way our nation handles stillbirth and miscarriage. I believe grieving families deserve recognition, support, and resources. You’ll hear about efforts to pass laws across the country, tools like fetal monitoring apps, and ways you can advocate in your own state or even at the national level.

Through heartfelt stories, faith-filled encouragement, and practical advocacy tips, The Silent Footprints empowers grieving parents to honor their babies and reclaim their voices. Whether you're freshly grieving or years down the road, this podcast will walk with you through the valleys and help you find purpose on the other side of pain.

You may feel broken right now, but God is not finished with your story. You are not alone. Your baby’s life mattered. And your life still holds meaning.

As Psalm 27:13 says, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” I never thought I’d feel joy again—but God made a way. Now I want to share that hope with you.

So, if you're tired of suffering in silence, if you're ready to heal, speak out, and even create change—subscribe and join me. Let’s walk this road together, one step, one story, one prayer at a time.

“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14

  • 63 | Yes, Miscarriage Is Birth | Pregnancy After Loss Doula with Sarah Lingle
    2025/10/14

    I’ve been following Sarah Lingle on Instagram since 2024, drawn to her faith-filled encouragement for mothers like me who have experienced the loss of a baby. Sarah’s story began while she was already serving as a doula. In January 2021, she faced unimaginable heartbreak when she lost her first baby, lovingly named Peanut.

    In this episode, Sarah shares the deeply personal story of her pregnancy, the day she was rushed to the hospital, and the shocking encounter with a nurse more focused on COVID protocols than her own wellbeing. She walks us through the moment she went into labor and gave birth to her baby—an experience that powerfully affirms what so many of us know to be true: miscarriage is still giving birth.

    By the grace of God, Sarah’s story didn’t end there. After a long season of infertility, she welcomed her rainbow baby in February 2023. Today, as a certified Birth and Bereavement Doula, Sarah uses her own story of loss and redemption to serve and comfort other mothers at every stage of their journey to motherhood.

  • 62 | Stillbirth Prevention on Capitol Hill | Part 2

    Today’s episode wraps up my trip to Washington, D.C. from last month — and what an incredible finish it was! I had two days left, and it began with the SHINE for Autumn Act being introduced on the House side. I spent the day meeting with several Louisiana leaders — congressmen, congresswomen, and senators — and to my surprise, Congressman Cleo Fields signed on to the bill right in front of us. I felt so favored by the Lord and deeply privileged to be part of this important work.

    On Thursday, September 18th, I met with Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Congresswoman Julia Letlow, Congressman Troy Carter, and Senator John Kennedy. Then on Friday, September 19th — National Stillbirth Prevention Day — I wrapped up meetings with Congressman Clay Higgins, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senator Bill Cassidy.

    As I headed to the airport, I had one last, unexpected moment — meeting Senator Ted Cruz, which truly felt like the cherry on top of an already unforgettable trip.

    I hope this episode encourages you to have faith, step out boldly, and make a difference right where you are. And as a quick update: Congressman H. Morgan Griffith from Virginia has introduced bill HR 570, which would provide families a $2,000 tax credit if they’ve experienced a stillbirth.

    In this episode, I share about my recent advocacy trip to Washington, D.C., where I joined Healthy Birth Day, Debbie Haine Vijayvergiya—the founder of SHINE for Autumn—and fellow Count the Kicks advocates to talk about preventable stillbirth and the importance of passing the SHINE for Autumn Act. I walk you through my first day on Capitol Hill, giving insight into what the process of advocating for a bill can look like. Along the way, I share how God orchestrated some incredible moments, including an unexpected meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson. This trip was filled with answered prayers and powerful encouragement, and I hope my story inspires you as much as it did me.
