The Still Mama Tribe

In this episode, we interview the lovely Pam Wakefield.

We have a conversation about Pam's career that started as a sonographer, and how that inspired her to move into the loss space to provide healing for mamas and families.
Pam has created 'Beyond The Silence' which is an Arts Therapy Program for loss mamas. 

We discuss how sonographers can engage in the process of delivering the terrible news of a baby's death, the difficulties and joys of being a health professional.
We discuss some of the many benefits of arts therapy, and some practical things you can try at home. 

Pam is a beautiful person, who has the most compassionate spirit.
Enjoy this wide ranging conversation.

In this episode, we interview the incredible Lacey Barratt.

This is a wide ranging conversation not only about birth photography, but professionals operating from a place of humanity by using specific language, and paradigms to shift how we treat mamas, partners and families who experience birth and death in the same space. 

We also discuss the importance of, and tips for involving the partner in the birthing and photography process.

The episode wraps up with a passionate coversation about social media and trigger warnings. 

Lacey is a world changer and a beautiful human. Enjoy!

In this episode we interview the knowledgeable, beautiful Grace. It is clear she is so very passionate about women's health, especially loss mamas. 

Having experienced fertility issues and 3 miscarriages herself, she now works with women who wish to heal after miscarriage, become pregnant and stay pregnant, and prepare for birth and new motherhood.

We take a deep dive into nutrition, blood test results, self care and practical tips for our listeners to implement at home to help the body heal after baby loss. There's so many gems in this one!

In this episode, we interview the lovely Sam Payne, co founder of The Pink Elephants Support Network.

Sam and Gabbi started this not-for-profit charity after meeting for coffee and realising there needs to be more support for women who've experienced miscarriage. They have expanded their network to provide women, partners, hospitals and doctors with information about miscarriage, in the form of stunning pamphlets and information sheets.

In this episode, we interview Jenn from Loss in Transition and Loeys Hugs. We discuss Jenn's journey to becoming a loss coach and what kind of things a mama can expect if she wants to try loss coaching. 

We discuss how society/culture reacts to stillbirth/pregnancy
losses and what we can do to build some awareness on how to manage it, and how important
it is to find support - your community. Jenn is an intuitive woman, filled with love and wisdom that she imparts in everyone around her.

Enjoy this lovely conversation!

This episode we interview the beautiful Têya Foley, an empowerment blogger of all things women. 

Têya created and so she thought in order empower and connect women by sharing their voices and stories, and by exploring the issues many of us face but don't talk about. 

Key Topics: Partial Molar and Molar Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Surgery, Blood donations, Language, Partner's Trauma, Waiting to try to conceive for medical reasons, the infamous 12 week rule. 

To be honest, this episode started out as a sound check. Sarah and Megan were testing the microphone and sound set up, and kept chatting. We decided to start a few conversations and that ended up being the pilot episode! Enjoy.

Welcome to the Still Mama Tribe. With your hosts Sarah and Megan. We are here with open arms for those whose arms are empty.
