Teresa’s Recent Pregnancy Loss Story
This was not the episode Teresa wanted to make, instead she dreamt of surprising you Dazeys the same way she had been surprised when in early March this year she saw two blue lines on a pregnancy test. Teresa cracks open and vulnerably shares her story of losing her 5th baby. Teresa has dug deep into both her spiritual toolbox and sisterhood to navigate this immense loss. She hopes this cathartic retelling of her story can help make others treading a similar path feel less alone.Follow Sarah Wright Olsen: IG: @swrightolsenFollow Teresa Palmer: IG: @teresapalmer FB: https://www.facebook.com/teresamarypalmer/DISCOUNT CODES: • Go to www.baeo.com and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 • Go to www.lovewell.earth and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20More about the show! • Watch this episode on YouTube here • Co-founders of @yourzenmama yourzenmama.com • Read and buy our book!
