The Worst Girl Gang Ever

In this episode Bex & Laura answer a question from the community. 
Bex also tries to make up a jingle for ‘questions from the community’ but it’s fair to say, she fails. 
The question this week is around navigating life after loss - How to handle pregnant people around you. 
The girls talk about the importance of boundaries and setting expectations, prepping your partner or friends during social visits, navigating the painful feelings like guilt, shame and ‘feeling like a diva’ 
They chat about whats app groups, being angry when invited to baby showers, being angry when not invited to baby showers and the injustice and unfairness of the situation as a whole. 
They also discuss how communication can help almost every situation.

In this episode, Nicol shares her story of baby loss, opening up about her experiences of recurrent miscarriage and stillbirth, and the impact it’s had on her life.
She speaks honestly about the weight of grief and how isolating loss can feel, especially when the world around you keeps moving. Nicol reflects on how finding support through social media and connecting with others who truly understand helped her feel less alone, and gave her a sense of purpose in the midst of everything she was carrying.
We talk about the importance of having spaces where grief is welcomed, not silenced, and how sharing your story, even when it feels hard, can be part of healing. Nicol also shares how therapy and self-compassion helped her begin to rebuild her confidence, and how she navigates conversations about loss with her children and the people around her.
This episode is about connection, honesty, and the quiet strength that comes from being seen. A reminder that even after the most painful experiences, there can still be moments of hope.

We're taking it back to basics Lads... 
This week Bex & Laura take on a couple of questions from the community around sharing loss stories - when is the right time? How do we advocate while protecting our wellbeing? and how to navigate the fear of judgement. 
There's also some singing and some laughter - although Bex's rendition of 'Earth song' was so bad that our editing software recognised it as unwanted background noise so we're afraid that didn't make it to the final cut - she's happy to voice note anyone who wants it. 
If you have any questions for the next 'community questions' episode, please email them over to us at [email protected] - with 'community questions' in the subject line. You can ask anything at all - about us, the work we do or how to navigate certain situations - nothing is off limits! 
Also, we mention our lovely friends Shaun & Kieran over at NeXYs fertility - you can find them @themalefertilitypodcast & @nexysfertility on instagram - a fantastic support for men & all things male fertility. 
Ciao for now xxx

In this episode, we sit down with Nicola and her dad Steve for a heartfelt conversation about their journey through miscarriage, infertility, and the lasting impact loss can have on families. Together they share their personal experiences, the challenges they’ve faced, and why open conversations and community support are so important when navigating grief.
Steve talks about how loss has affected him as a parent and grandparent, and why he wanted to do something meaningful to support families going through similar experiences.
Steve is currently fundraising by taking on an incredible challenge throughout March. He is running 5km every day during the week and 10km on weekend days, and last Sunday he completed the Cambridge Half Marathon alongside Nicola and her husband Emmet. His challenge is all about raising awareness and vital funds to support families affected by baby loss.

This episode is a powerful reminder that loss touches whole families, and that talking about it openly can help create the understanding, support, and community so many people need.
