187: This Fucking Sucks with Katrina Scott

TW: The beginning of this episode contains details of fertility struggles and pregnancy losses — fast forward to 10:00.

In this episode, I sit down with Katrina Scott: entrepreneur, author, and the first visibly pregnant model to be in a Sports Illustrated publication. Katrina and I discuss her emotional fertility journey and the pregnancy losses she and her family have experienced in the past few years. She shares the balancing act of publicly sharing her fertility experiences, moving through grief while caring for her first child, and the transparency she practices with her daughter around pain and healing. We also talk about ways to speak to someone who has experienced pregnancy loss, the best thing the non-birthing partner can do during fertility struggles, and what it feels like to experience postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
