Flying high in New York and returning to work the day after a pregnancy loss with Gabrielle Nancarrow | Interviews

Gabrielle Nancarrow went back to work the day after a D&C procedure following her pregnancy loss. It’s a far cry from the way in which she cares for birthing people as a doula today, but back then, she was flying high in the corporate world as the editorial director at Victoria’s Secret in New York.

Her life was fast paced, her work was exciting and her career was thriving.

Soon after that loss, another pregnancy would eventually lead to the birth of her first daughter, and with it, like so many mothers before her, a rebirth of Gabrielle.

The career goal posts started shifting in that postpartum period, and here, we talk returning to work full time at just four months postpartum, leaving her job and life in New York, and the new career she’s created for herself at home in Melbourne, as a doula, a small business owner, and a published author.

In acknowledging the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia, each week, I’ll be doing a shout out to an indigenous business or charity doing great things.

This week it’s Common Ground, a First Nations not-for-profit working to shape a society that centres First Nations people by amplifying knowledge, cultures and stories.

I particularly love their yearly First Nations Bedtime Stories project, which brings dreaming stories as old as time into homes and classrooms around Australia.
