Episode 20: Loss, Healing and Hope - with Special Guest Amy Watson

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and in this heartfelt conversation, Kendra and Katie sit down with Amy Watson, a certified life coach who helps women navigate the deep grief that follows miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. Amy shares her personal story — from losing her daughter Lauren and later her baby River, to transforming that pain into purpose by supporting others walking a similar path.

This episode is for everyone — whether you've personally experienced loss or want to know how to better support a friend, colleague, or loved one who has. Together, we explore how to show up with compassion, what to say (and what not to say), and how even small gestures can make a big difference.

Amy's story is raw, real, and full of hope. She reminds us that grief and love coexist — and that speaking a baby's name, showing up, and saying something is always better than silence.
