S5 E1 - Dr. Ariel Blackburn's Story

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2025/01/01

OUR 50TH EPISODE!!! Topics: miscarriage, PPD It was amazing to reconnect with Ariel after Zoom decided we needed to redo our interview. We got real and vulnerable about PPD, anxiety, medication, therapy, and all the dirty bits of motherhood that we all struggle with daily. It was really like we were talking again for the very first time. Ariel has been a faithful follower of MOTR since the beginning and has been a huge support along the way. Thank you! I can’t wait for you to hear our conversation

S4 E9 - Emily Haus' Story Part 1

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2024/11/06

Topics: parents of special needs kids, poor sleepers, PPA, epilepsy, blindness Now that I’ve been recording, editing, and publishing these episodes for so long (by the time this comes out it’ll have been over a year of podcasting! WHAT?!) I’ve seen all kinds of different formats. Some hosts limit their interviews to a set amount of time, but I’ve realized that just doesn’t work for our stories. We have too much to share and too much to dissect. So you’re looking at another two-parter episode this

S4 E8 - Rebekah Fisher's Story

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2024/10/30

Topic: infant lossI had such a fun time chatting with my cousin, Rebekah, for this interview. It was comforting to talk with someone I know so well and yet learned so much more about hearing her story of loss. Since I was only 13 when this story took place, I really was hearing it in full detail for the first time. Despite the sorrow intertwined in this story, she always finds a bright spot and I hope you feel that joy in it as well. You can reach out to Rebekah here: Instagram Email:

Topics: miscarriage, mental health When you’re both loss mamas, podcasters, and fellow Kentucky girls you’re almost guaranteed to have a great time recording together when you finally do get around to finding the time which is a challenge all in itself. But when we finally coordinated enough time to record we accomplished recording for Grateful Scripts, Linds' podcast, and an episode for this one too. We laughed together, felt the crush, and surprise of her story and walked through it all

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2024/10/02

Topics: miscarriage, trisomy 18, stillborn, late term loss and secondary infertilityToday’s story is one that doesn’t yet have a happy ending. When we recorded Chelsea’s story back in November 2023 there were still may unknowns. And yet, as you’ll hear in the end, there was a small glimmer of hope. I was so thankful that Chelsea was willing to share even without the happy ending we all strive for. I can only continue to hope and pray that by the time this episode airs there will be that happy

Topics: miscarriage, unplanned pregnancy, faith Loren is a part of the 1 in 4 women who experience miscarriage. I felt so connected with her as she lost her babies around the same time that I did.

We had so much to discuss and find common ground on that you’ll have to wait til next week to hear part two of her story. You can reach out to Loren here: Blog Personal

S4 E1 - Richard's Story

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2024/09/11

Few other stories fill me with such pride and joy as the one you’re about to hear today. Not many husbands would be willing to sit down and be so vulnerable, but I have found me a goodin’! I knew I wanted the anniversary episode of this podcast to be a special one, but I couldn’t have imagined how great it would truly be. I highly recommend sitting down with your spouse around a microphone to really foster a great conversation. It doesn’t even have to be about parenthood or your loss, just talk and

2024/06/05

Topics: secondary infertility, IUI, IVFIf you had told college-babies Olivia and Jolene that they would be chatting on a podcast together 10+ years down the road, let alone all the losses they would have faced, we would have not have even understood a small bit of what you were saying. But I’m so thankful that we’re on this journey together. I can’t imagine life without friends like Olivia who have walked the motherhood loss journey with me and on their own as well. She sets a beautiful example of

Topic: StillbirthIn this second episode we’ll talk through the discussion questions for Kaitlin’s story. I was so thankful for all she shared in the first episode so make sure you go back and listen to her story that came out last week. I forgot to mention last week that at the time we recorded her story she was only 4 months separated from her loss. I was so thankful that she still agreed to share despite her loss still being so fresh. I hope that anyone else listening just weeks or months

Topic: stillbirthI want to give everyone a heads up that this story was hard for me to listen to. You’ll know more of why it was especially hard for me later on, but I know some of you might need to know that it’s a hard story to listen to. All of these are heavy, but this one hit closer to home for some reason. Take the time you need to prepare your heart to listen. I am so unbelievably proud of Kaitlin for sharing this story that I know was so hard to do. So let’s jump in together (whenever

2024/05/08

Topic: stillbirth As with every single one of these women I was very proud of Victoria for sharing her story. When I first reached out she was very honest and said she wasn’t quite ready. I was thankful for her honesty and I hope others feel that they don’t have to share until they’re absolutely ready. When she was ready to share it was quite the story as you’ll hear today. Might want to get the tissues ready for this one. Let’s jump in to hear her bravery through this sad, yet hopeful story. You

Motherhood Off the Rails ·

2024/04/24

Topics: still birth, miscarriage The story you’re about to hear today has more ups and downs than any physical roller coaster I’ve ever been on. And trust me, I used to ride those crazy rides all the time! Because her story does have so much to cover, we’re splitting her story into two parts. Nor has been through more in her early lifetime than many of us have faced over 20+ years. And yet, as you’ll hear throughout her story, she still has laughter and smiles to share with everyone she comes in

2024/04/17

Topics: IVFWhen I dreamed up this podcast I never in a million years would have imagined that our audience would have reached to an entire different continent. But here we are listening to the episode of our very first international guest. Thank you so much Laura! When we recorded this Laura and her husband were about to start their 4th round of IVF. So much of their story is yet to be told and I’m so thankful she chose to still tell her story in the midst of such unknown. Be sure to check out

Topic: miscarriageToday’s episode is continuation of Andrea’s story from last week. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, make sure you stop what you’re doing and go back to listen to part one. You don’t want to miss the beginning of her story that ties in perfectly with today’s episode. I so enjoyed talking with Andrea and discussing the challenges and joys of creating a community of women working through their grief. I hope you find her community just as welcoming as you’ve found ours. You
