Episode 242: Healing After Miscarriage - Anne Phung’s TTC Journey
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Month in the United States. Although research suggests that over 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, this experience can feel extremely isolating and lonely for families. It certainly did for our guest today, Anne Phung Nguyen Guzman, who experienced 2 miscarriages before giving birth to her beautiful baby boy last summer. Lack of support and empathy from her medical team, as well as toxic positivity from people around her, only made this process even more difficult.Anne has since shared her experiences on social media with vulnerability and honesty, in hopes that others who are going through their TTC (Trying to Conceive) journey can feel less alone. Everyone’s TTC journey is unique and deeply personal, so we hope this episode can provide some comfort and insight if you or a loved one are going through this process.__________________________________________Hosts: Janet Wang and Helen WuContributing Editor: Haemee Kang__________________________________________P A R T N E R S• Pampers: For trusted protection, trust Pampers, the #1 pediatrician recommended brand.• BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code “ABG” at betterhelp.com/ABG__________________________________________C O N N E C T W I T H U S• Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook• Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here• Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here• Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com__________________________________________S U P P O R T U S• Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com• Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support• More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.
