Summary
In this episode, Gretchen shares a deeply personal conversation about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. She opens up about losing what would have been their third baby, the loneliness that follows, and the quiet grief that lives in your body long after the moment passes.
She also talks candidly about what helps, what doesn’t, what not to say to someone going through loss, and how simply being present can matter more than trying to fix the pain. With vulnerability, clarity, and care, this episode is for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss, is supporting someone who has, or has ever felt alone in grief that’s hard to explain.

| 0:00.0 | Trigger warning. I'm going to talk about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. There's no expectation that |
| 0:06.2 | someone is just going to say something and it's going to take all of the pain away because |
| 0:09.7 | that's what makes miscarriage so lonely and so isolating is that there is nothing that anyone |
| 0:16.3 | can do to literally feel your pain, take away your pain, comfort you, help you. |
| 0:28.2 | Guys, I don't really know how to start this episode in any other way other than to say, |
| 0:33.7 | trigger warning, I'm going to talk about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. I'm sure a lot of you guys |
| 0:39.9 | saw on my Instagram that, unfortunately, I have miscarried our third baby, what would have been our |
| 0:48.4 | third baby. And I've recorded some of the last week that I've been going through this and shared it on my Instagram. |
| 0:57.7 | And I shared it just in hopes that someone who was going through it, I was desperately looking for videos on TikTok and Instagram of other people going through what I was going through. |
| 1:06.1 | And I could find it some, but not that many. |

| 1:10.2 | I feel like it's just |
| 1:10.8 | such an isolating alone feeling. As soon as we found out that I was pregnant about three and a half |
| 1:16.4 | weeks ago, I told myself that I would record myself talking to my baby every single day, because |
| 1:22.8 | if you've been through a miscarriage before, you know that it robs you of all the joy and |
| 1:30.4 | excitement and hope and security that you have in your body, which is really, really fucking |
| 1:35.0 | unfortunate. And I think back, so my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and then we got |
| 1:39.0 | pregnant with Lenin. And when we got pregnant with Lenin, I didn't tell anyone in a fun way. I didn't record anyone's |
| 1:45.3 | reactions. We just kind of told them with like, yeah, we're pregnant again. But like it just had |
| 1:50.9 | this like doom cloud over it. And I regret that so much because she obviously deserved to be |
| 1:57.2 | celebrated to the umth degree. However the fuck you say you say that so anyway i'm not just going to talk |
| 2:03.8 | about my story i um i can touch on it if needed but i want to talk about a couple things that i get |
