Welcome to this episode of Motherkind, the show that gives you all the tools, ideas and validation you need as you navigate your life as a mother. Sometimes the hardest things that we face, are also the things that we most need to talk about because it's often those things that we don't have the words for.

Sophie shares with us what we all NEED to know, because even if we haven't experienced loss or IVF or miscarriage ourselves then we know someone who has. It is so easy to say completely the wrong thing, so please share this episode.
