In this deeply moving episode of Her Kind of Brave, Sarah Flugge shares the losses that have shaped her life — losing her brother to suicide, losing her dear friend to cancer, and navigating pregnancy loss while overseas, far from support, clarity, or familiarity.Sarah speaks with rare honesty about the confusion and isolation of miscarriage in another country, the absence of guidance in that moment, and the quiet grief that followed her home. She reflects on how grief compounds — how one loss often sits on top of another — and how family trauma can linger long after the moment passes.The conversation also explores fertility anxiety and receiving a low AMH result, motherhood shaped by loss, and what it means to live with grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. This episode gives voice to the kind of pain many women carry silently — and offers a deeply human reminder that learning how to hold what hurt is, in itself, an act of courage.Personal: @sarahmaeameyBusiness: @floralsandcoSupport the brands that keep these brave conversations (and your co-hosts) going:GENEA FERTILITY – genea.com.au · @geneafertility · 1300 361 795CENTRE FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE & SURGERY - (Dr Kee Ong) – Call 07 5519 1602 · @drkeeongKOSI – kosi.au · @kosi_auSTYLD- https://www.styld.net.au @styld.original - use code ' STYLD.15' for 15% off your first orderMR CONSISTENT – mrconsistent.com.au · @mrconsistent_Be sure to join the chat in our Community Group www.facebook.com/groups/herkindofbrave/Follow us on Instagram@herkindofbravepodcast and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbraveDo you have a brave story, or are you looking to sponsor an upcoming episode?

This is Part 2 of Her Kind of Brave’s conversation with Loren Recchi, founder of Remind Her.While Part 1 focused on miscarriage, grief, and the moment life fractures, Part 2 explores what happens next — pregnancy after loss, surrender, and the slow rebuilding of trust in your body, intuition, and future.Loren shares how she navigated pregnancy after miscarriage while carrying fear, how rituals, signs, and symbolic meaning helped her stay grounded, and why surrender became an active practice rather than giving up. The conversation moves into sisterhood, accepting help, seasons of friendship, and balancing motherhood with a purpose-led business.This episode offers a gentler lens — one that honours grief without living inside it, and makes space for hope without demanding certainty.Support the brands that keep these brave conversations (and your co-hosts) going:GENEA FERTILITY – genea.com.au · @geneafertility · 1300 361 795CENTRE FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE & SURGERY - (Dr Kee Ong) – Call 07 5519 1602 · @drkeeongKOSI – kosi.au · @kosi_auMR CONSISTENT – mrconsistent.com.au · @mrconsistent_Be sure to join the chat in our Community Group www.facebook.com/groups/herkindofbrave/Follow us on Instagram @herkindofbravepodcast and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbraveDo you have a brave story, or are you looking to sponsor an upcoming episode?

In this deeply moving episode of Her Kind of Brave, Chloe Davidson and Kellie Johnson sit down with Loren Recchi, author, miscarriage advocate, and founder of Remind Her, to speak honestly about pregnancy loss, grief, and the invisible weight women carry.Loren shares her experience of multiple miscarriages — including chemical pregnancies and longer-term losses — and the profound loss of control that comes with them. She reflects on the moment a positive pregnancy test rearranges the future, and how devastating it feels when that future disappears.The conversation explores navigating miscarriage while parenting, trusting the body, medical decision-making, honouring loss through ritual, and the quiet strength found in small moments of beauty. Loren also speaks about marriage, mental load, resilience, and how hardship reshapes values — especially in the face of cancer, business stress, and repeated grief.This episode gives language to loss that is often minimised — and offers permission to grieve fully, regardless of how early that loss occurs.Support the brands that keep these brave conversations (and your co-hosts) going:GENEA FERTILITY – genea.com.au · @geneafertility · 1300 361 795Centre for Reproductive Medicine & Surgery (Dr Kee Ong) – Call 07 5519 1602 · @drkeeongKOSI – kosi.au · @kosi_auMR CONSISTENT – mrconsistent.com.au · @mrconsistent_Be sure to join the chat in our Community Group www.facebook.com/groups/herkindofbrave/Follow us on Instagram @herkindofbravepodcast and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbraveDo you have a brave story, or are you looking to sponsor an upcoming episode?

In Part 2 of this conversation on Her Kind of Brave, Olivia Frazer moves beyond the public narrative and into the quieter aftermath- grief, healing, boundaries, and redefining what a good life looks like after trauma.Olivia reflects on being the primary carer for her terminally ill father, the way humour and love carried her family through unimaginable loss, and how grief reshaped her memory and identity. She speaks openly about dating with a public profile, navigating clout-chasers, rebuilding self-trust, and learning to recognise red flags.The conversation also explores Olivia’s evolving relationship with motherhood, her decision to honour uncertainty around having children, and the relief of releasing societal timelines. Along the way, she shares what has helped her heal- sisterhood, honest conversations, healthier models of masculinity, and the quiet work of manifesting a future that feels safe again.This episode is reflective, grounded, and deeply human.Support the brands that keep these brave conversations (and your co-hosts) going:GENEA FERTILITY – genea.com.au · @geneafertility · 1300 361 795Centre for Reproductive Medicine & Surgery (Dr Kee Ong) – Call 07 5519 1602 · @drkeeongKOSI – kosi.au · @kosi_auMR CONSISTENT – mrconsistent.com.au · @mrconsistent_Be sure to join the chat in our Community Group www.facebook.com/groups/herkindofbrave/Follow us on Instagram @herkindofbravepodcast and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbraveDo you have a brave story, or are you looking to sponsor an upcoming episode?
