What I Wish I Knew Afer Pregnancy Loss with Sharna Southan
Welcome to the What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss Podcast! On this podcast, you will find support and encouragement for pregnancy loss at all stages, whether you were early in your pregnancy or experienced a stillbirth. You are safe, seen, and deeply understood here.Hi, I’m Sharna, I am a loss mum myself and a mum to a beautiful rainbow baby. I am a projector in human design which means I am here to guide you to a new way of being, thinking, or healing. I know what it is like to personally live through the soul shattering experience of pregnancy loss. Out of my healing, I became a Trauma Informed Coach, Self-healing spiral practitioner and a womb light practitioner. I knew that my experience wasn’t the end of my story and I am here to show you that it isn’t the end of yours. You don’t have to ever find meaning in your loss but there is meaning in your life after loss & you deserve to heal. On this podcast, you will find what I wish I knew before my pregnancy loss, guest experts expanding on important topics, and overall valuable information about pregnancy loss and healing and recovery after. I would love to connect further with you on my Instagram: @instituteofhealing_pl or @sharnasouthan and you can also find out more information about The Pregnancy Loss Practitioner Certification here: https://www.sharnasouthan.com/healing-through-loss-blueprint.
Show Notes:
On today’s episode, I am joined by Rochelle Olsen. Raised in western NSW, Australia, Rochelle knows all too well the challenges that rural living can present. Being a career clinical pharmacist for over 20 years, Rochelle suddenly found herself choosing between surviving baby loss and the career she had built her identity around. She experienced a missed miscarriage in 201 which was incredibly uninformed and frightening. Then, her firstborn son, Edward, died at 7 hours old. She found unacceptable gaps in the support and guidance after baby loss and decided to do something about it. She sold her pharmacy and whilst she went on to have 2 beautiful earth side boys she also experienced a second miscarriage. She trained as a Pregnancy Loss Practitioner (with the Institute of Healing through Pregnancy Loss) grief and loss support worker, and became mental health first aid accredited. Now she is a lamplighter for baby loss mums in rural Australia when they need it most. In today’s episode, we are talking about the lack of support that she received and that she needed so desperately and how she uses her experience to help others in their time of need with baby loss. Tune in to hear more Rochelle’s story and how she supports baby loss mums.
