    Ep 118: When Pregnancy becomes a Medical Emergency with Guest Dimi Sfetsas
    2025/12/28
    At 41, after being told natural pregnancy would be nearly impossible, Dimi received the shock of her life—a positive pregnancy test. But what began as unexpected joy quickly spiraled into a rare medical emergency that would keep her hospitalized for six weeks and change her understanding of fertility, loss, and resilience forever. In this deeply moving episode, assistant principal Dimi Sfetsas shares her experience with cervical ectopic pregnancy—one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy, occurring in less than 0.1% of all pregnancies. Her story takes us through: The whirlwind of discovering an unexpected pregnancy after being referred to egg donorsThe terrifying progression from miscarriage suspicion to life-threatening ectopic diagnosisSix weeks of hospital isolation during COVID, including methotrexate injections, constant haemorrhage risk, and the emotional weight of a procedure that ended a heartbeat10 days in complete isolation after COVID exposure—no window, no walks, just survivingThe dismissive aftermath: "It happened, just forget about it"How fertility treatments became both a distraction and an obsession through 8 egg freezing cycles in one yearThe four-year journey to finally grieve and reconnect with herself through meditation and sound healing in GreeceWhere she stands now: in the two-week wait, still navigating the question every person facing infertility asks—when is enough, enough? Dimi's vulnerability in sharing her story—much of which she's never spoken about publicly—offers validation for anyone who has felt alone in pregnancy loss, fertility struggles, or the isolating experience of medical trauma. This episode covers sensitive topics including pregnancy loss, ectopic pregnancy, medical procedures, and infertility. Please listen with care.

LIMITED SPOTS - JOIN HERE & claim your spot: https://www.sharnasouthan.com/loss-to-legacy-immersion NOW FOR PART TWO: In this profound Part Two conversation, Shruti Trivedi shares one of the most spine-chilling and beautiful moments of her healing journey—when her three-year-old son began carrying two identical pandas everywhere, calling them "his brothers" and insisting they stay together. He had no way of knowing about the identical twin boys she lost. Until he pointed to the sky and said, "I saw them." Shruti and Sharna explore the mysterious spiritual connections young children have—particularly around age three—when they seem to exist between worlds, speaking with spirits and seeing what we cannot. They discuss the importance of age-appropriate grief conversations with children, why we must use literal language ("died" not "passed away"), and how children process trauma through play. This conversation also tackles the ongoing challenge of parenting both your earthside children and your angel babies simultaneously. Shruti shares how she's learned to balance grieving her three losses while being present for her three living children, and why she refuses to forget her babies—instead choosing to "move forward WITH all six of my children." From the terror of wondering if removing the pandas was the right choice, to finding peace in that spiritual connection, to attending candlelight vigils and creating meaningful rituals—this episode shows the multifaceted, ongoing nature of healing after loss. Key Topics: The mysterious pandas story: when a three-year-old revealed what he "saw"Why young children (especially around age 3) seem to connect with the spirit realmHow to talk to children about death and loss with age-appropriate honestyUsing literal language ("died" not "passed") and why it mattersChildren processing trauma through playThe balancing act of parenting living children while honoring angel babiesCreating meaningful rituals and connections (candlelight vigils, memory practices)Why healing is "work in progress" and that's okayBeing proactive in your healing journey while allowing all emotionsChoosing how to move forward WITH your babies, not without them Connect with Shruti: Shruti works with working mothers and professionals to release guilt, prioritize self-care, and embrace mental wellbeing with compassion and courage.

    Ep 116: PART ONE The Weight of Silence with Guest Shruti Trivedi
    2025/12/15
    This is a TWO PART podcast series Before the episode show notes: The Loss to Legacy immersion - join before December 31st & get 61% OFF - $499 AUD - over 4 weeks we deep dive into the specialised frameworks that turn; "I want to support bereaved mothers" into "I know exactly how to support them"—with complete clarity on your path. JOIN HERE TODAY & claim your spot: https://www.sharnasouthan.com/loss-to-legacy-immersion Part One: In this deeply moving two-part conversation, Shruti Trivedi returns to share the raw reality of pregnancy after loss and what society gets wrong about supporting bereaved mothers. After losing her twin boys in 2017, Shruti conceived again in 2018—and every ultrasound appointment became a battle with fear. She opens up about the paradox of "toxic positivity," the hollow pressure to "just be happy," and why wearing a mask for others' comfort costs us our healing. Shruti and Sharna explore the milestone moments that become triggers, the self-fulfilling prophecy of waiting for tragedy to strike again, and how perinatal anxiety is trauma showing up in the body. They discuss why presence—not platitudes—is what bereaved mothers need most, and how one friend's wordless coffee shop visit became a memory Shruti still treasures years later. This is a conversation about honoring all our emotions, not escaping them. About the ripple effects of loss that touch our subsequent pregnancies, our parenting, and what our children witness. If you've ever wondered how to show up for someone in grief, or if you're navigating pregnancy after loss yourself, this episode offers profound insights into what healing actually requires. Key Topics: The terror of pregnancy after loss and scanning appointments as triggersWhy reaching milestones doesn't bring the relief we expectPerinatal anxiety vs. typical pregnancy worries—understanding the differenceThe harm of toxic positivity and "just be happy" cultureWhy presence beats perfect words every timeHow to hold space without trying to fixThe long-term ripple effects of loss on parenting and family Connect with Shruti: Shruti works with working mothers and professionals to release guilt, prioritize self-care, and embrace mental wellbeing with compassion and courage.
