Navigating Baby Loss
This is where we say the things we can't say anywhere else to anyone else. Join certified life coach and stillbirth mom Jennifer Senn as she shares stories and has conversations about what life is like after suffering the loss of your baby and of the future you dreamed of before you heard those awful four words. Grief lasts a lifetime but you don't have to struggle with guilt, fear, and the isolation that is so common for loss moms. Navigating Baby Loss will give you inspiration and hope from hearing others' stories and Jennifer will share valuable information about how you can ease your pain with the things that are hardest to cope with in the months and years following your stillbirth loss.

October is here. Your phone is full of candles, footprints, and pink and blue ribbons before you're even out of bed. Part of you is so grateful the world is finally saying our babies out loud. And part of you wants to throw that phone across the room.
If that's you, you're not ungrateful. You're a mom whose body remembers the hardest day of her life.
In this episode, I talk about getting through Pregnancy and I...
She did everything right. Her body still couldn't keep her baby inside. Sound familiar?
In this episode I'm sitting down with Jodi Klaristenfeld, founder of Flourish and a preemie and NICU parent coach. Jodi's daughter Jenna was born at 28 weeks after preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome nearly took both of their lives. Jodi met her daughter three days after the birth, and Jenna spent 77 days in the NICU before com...
What happens to the grief you never let yourself feel? What does it cost you, years down the road, to just "keep going" like everyone told you to?
I'm back after a little break I didn't really plan on. My dad passed away a few weeks ago, and in cleaning out his house with my sister, I've been uncovering something I never fully understood as a kid. My parents lost their first baby during birth, decades before I...
You laughed for the first time in what feels like forever… and then the panic hit. Who am I to laugh when my baby died?
If that's you, you're not alone, and you're definitely not the first mom to feel it. In this episode, Jennifer gets honest about the guilt that floods in right after a laugh, a smile, a single good moment. She remembers it from her own life: laughing at something her husband said, and ...
You weren't being too sensitive. They were being thoughtless. Those are not the same thing.
You know the comment. The one your sister said at brunch. The one your best friend sent over text. "You can always try again." "At least you know you can get pregnant." "Maybe by this time next year you'll have your baby." When it comes from a stranger, you can write it off. But when it comes from someone your own age, ...
What if the most exhausted you've ever been isn't from the loss itself — but from mothering your living children while grieving the baby you didn't get to bring home?
If you've come home from the hospital to a house full of little ones who still need you — needing breakfast, needing rides to school, needing your lap — you already know this kind of tired. The kind sleep doesn't fix. The kind t...
You are a mother. Full stop.
If you've ever hesitated when someone asks how many kids you have… if you've sat at a baby shower feeling like a fraud… if you've questioned whether you really get to claim the word "mother" - this episode is for you.
Your baby made you a mother. Loss didn't change that. Time doesn't change that. Silence from the people around you doesn't change that. And this is the e...
Are you already dreading Mother's Day? You are not alone — and you are not doing grief wrong.
If your chest gets tight just thinking about Mother's Day... if you're already noticing the ads, the brunch promos, the "best mom ever" posts, and your body is bracing weeks before the day even arrives — this episode is for you. That heaviness has a name. It's anticipatory grief. And it's so much more comm...
Grief after stillbirth doesn't just live inside you — it can quietly settle between you and your partner, too. And if you've ever looked at him and wondered how he can just go to work and act like everything is normal... you're not alone.
In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Miranda Bayard Clark, a licensed therapist turned coach and founder of the Baby Ready Blueprint. Miranda helps couples prepare ...
Have you ever been invited to something — a baby shower, a play date, a summer gathering — and felt that quiet dread settle in before you even replied?
It's not that you don't love your friends. You do. It's that somewhere along the way, you became the exception in the group — the one everyone is a little careful around, the one whose life went a different way. And now being around the people...
Does your family know how to grieve with you or are they quietly falling apart on their own?
Grandparent grief after stillbirth is one of the most overlooked parts of baby loss. Your parents and in-laws lost a grandchild. They lost the future they imagined for you. And most of the time, nobody is checking in on them while they're trying to figure out how to show up for you without making things worse.
In this e...
I came home from a retreat in Nashville with a lot of things on my mind. But one conversation wouldn't leave me alone.
I met a woman named Emily — a birth worker, a loss mom — and she said something that stopped me cold. She said, "I chose to be a buffalo." I've lived in Buffalo my whole life. Buffaloes are everywhere I look. And somehow, I had never heard it this way.
This episode is about that con...
I sat frozen at a table full of women cutting out pictures of diamond rings and vacation homes — and I couldn't put a single thing on my page.
Not because I didn't want nice things. But because somewhere deep inside of me, grief had quietly convinced me that wanting things was dangerous.
In this solo episode, I'm sharing one of the most defining moments of my life — the story of a vision board exerc...
In this honest and layered episode, I’m talking about something that doesn’t get said enough: pregnancy after loss is not a fresh start.
It might look like one from the outside. Two pink lines. A new due date. Another chance.
But if you’ve lived through stillbirth, you know it doesn’t feel clean or simple. It feels complicated. It feels terrifying. It feels hopeful and heartbreaking at t...
In this raw and important conversation, I sit down with Amber Ginn from The Latch Link—a virtual lactation practice that helps moms navigate feeding in all its forms. Amber shares her journey from teen mom to IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), and how her early breastfeeding experience lit a fire to support other moms—especially those facing challenges.
But we’re not ...
Parenting after loss is a whole different level of hard.
You’re grieving a baby you don’t get to raise… and at the same time, you’re expected to keep showing up for the kids you already have. Get them dressed. Feed them. Play with them. Be patient. Be present. Be okay.
And if you’re anything like I was, that pressure comes with a crushing amount of guilt.
In this episode, I’m...
In this episode, I’m joined by Sabrina Weschler, co-founder of Cyclisity and niece of Toni Weschler, author of the groundbreaking book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. We’re diving into why understanding our bodies matters more than ever and how the knowledge in Toni's book (now celebrating its 30th anniversary!) inspired not only Sabrina's own fertility journey but also the creation of an app tha...
Today I’m talking about the version of self-care no one talks about: the version that feels impossible when you're angry with your body. When you feel like it failed you. When taking care of it feels like a betrayal.
After losing my twins, I didn’t want to nourish or nurture my body—I wanted to punish it. I felt disconnected from it, even disgusted by it. And I know I’m not the only one...
New Year’s Eve. It’s supposed to be a celebration. A fresh start. A clean slate.
But when your baby died this year, or any year, stepping into January feels more like betrayal than a new beginning.
I remember this feeling so well. The pressure to toast at midnight, make resolutions, and somehow “move on” with everyone else. But all I could think was… how do I go into a new year wi...
It’s Christmas Day. And whether you celebrate or not, this day has a weight to it that’s impossible to ignore.
The quiet feels louder.
The joy around you feels sharper.
And the absence of your baby feels overwhelming.
Today’s episode is not about fixing your grief or making today feel “okay.” It’s about sitting with you in it. Letting you know that you&rsquo...
