  • Dawn Hamilton-Fishwrick — You Are Not Alone — Miscarriage, Grief and the Power of Speaking Out
    2026/06/22

    In this heartfelt episode, host Heather sits down with Dawn Hamilton-Fishwrick, a Tropic Ambassador and advocate for self-care, to discuss miscarriage, grief, and the importance of speaking openly about baby loss.

    Dawn shares the story of losing her first baby at just 21 years old — a traumatic experience made all the harder by a lack of compassion and support at the hospital. She reflects on the self-blame that followed, the isolation of watching those around her celebrate new arrivals, and the slow journey towards healing shaped by family support, open conversations, and a growing resilience she never expected to find.

    She also speaks warmly about how loss changed her relationship with her husband, what it meant to navigate grief as a couple, and why she now volunteers that experience whenever she hears of someone else going through the same.

    Key Topics Covered:
    • Experiencing miscarriage and navigating hospital care
    • Self-blame and the emotional aftermath of baby loss
    • How loss affects partners and the wider family
    • The isolation of grief and why comparison can be harmful
    • Finding confidence and resilience through trauma

    This episode is a reminder that grief looks different for everyone — and that reaching out, even imperfectly, can make all the difference.

    2026/06/08

    In this deeply moving episode, host Heather sits down with Lucy Wade, a chocolatier and creative entrepreneur, to discuss a profoundly personal topic: IVF, infertility, and the loss of motherhood identity.

    Lucy opens up about living with severe endometriosis since childhood, her journey through IVF, and the devastating moment she was told that a pregnancy could cost her her life. She shares candidly about the emotional and physical toll this took — including a suicide attempt — and how CBT therapy, self-discovery, and a fierce determination to redefine herself helped her find a way through.

    She reflects on what it means to grieve a future you always assumed was yours, the identity crisis that follows infertility, and how she has come to love and embrace the life she now leads — on her own terms.

    Key Topics Covered:
    • Living with endometriosis and its hidden long-term impact
    • The emotional and physical toll of IVF and infertility
    • Losing your identity when motherhood is taken away
    • Mental health, suicide, and reaching out for help
    • Redefining yourself and finding joy beyond the expected life path

    Whether you’re navigating infertility yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honesty, hope, and a reminder that there is a life worth living — even when it doesn’t look the way you planned.

  • Welcome to my new Podcast
    2026/04/19

    In this first episode of The Truth After Baby Loss, I’m sharing my personal story of experiencing seven miscarriages and the emotional impact of baby loss.

    This is an honest and raw conversation about miscarriage, grief, and the reality of life after pregnancy loss… including the parts that often go unspoken.

    I open up about how baby loss affected my identity, confidence, and mental health, and how these experiences stayed with me long after the physical loss.

    As a qualified Coach and Deep Structure NLP Practitioner , I also share how unprocessed grief, loss, and trauma can impact how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world.

    This podcast is here to create safe, open conversations around baby loss, child loss, infertility, IVF journeys, and the experience of not being able to have children… while also including perspectives from partners, men, and those supporting loved ones through loss.

    If you’ve experienced miscarriage, baby loss, fertility struggles, or are supporting someone who has… this space is for you.
