À propos de ce contenu audio

 What does grief sound like when it’s spoken out loud? Two Mothers, One Aché: A Grief Dialogue invites listeners into intimate, transformative conversations about love, loss, and what it means to keep living after the unimaginable. Hosted by Dionne C. Monsanto and Yvette Dávila—two mothers bound by grief after the deaths of their children, Siwe (15) and Dasan (26)—the podcast centers honesty over closure and presence over answers. Rooted in faith, culture, and lived experience, the show explores grief in its many forms: child loss, identity shifts, estrangement, rage, remembrance, and renewal. Through storytelling, guest voices, and ritual-inspired reflections, Dionne and Yvette create a sacred space where sorrow and joy are allowed to coexist. This is not a guide to “getting through” grief. It’s a companion for sitting with it—where vulnerability is honored, healing is non-linear, and love continues beyond loss.

    Grief and Pregnancy Loss (Part 2)
    Mar 10 2026

    In Part 2 of this deeply moving conversation, Dionne and Yvette stay at the kitchen table with Adrienne Bailon-Houghton as the story turns toward what carried her through: faith, ritual, acceptance, and the sacred path that led her to surrogacy.

    Adrienne opens up about the grief she didn’t realize she was still carrying—the quiet sobs in the shower, the heartbreak of another loss during COVID, and the truth that miscarriage is not something you simply “move on” from. Together, they talk about the pain of unspoken grief, the power of being witnessed, and the ways love, faith, family, and community can hold you when words fall short.

    This episode is also about what helps and what hurts: the comments that wound, the support that steadies, and the people who walk beside us without trying to fix what cannot be fixed. With honesty, tenderness, and hard-won wisdom, Adrienne shares how acceptance made room for joy, how surrogacy became an act of surrender and love, and how motherhood still arrived in a way that was holy, intentional, and fully hers.

    And in true Two Mothers, One Aché fashion, this conversation brings us back to the heart of it all: your grief is real, your love is real, and you do not have to let go to keep healing.

    Grief and Pregnancy Loss (Part 1)
    Mar 3 2026
    This week at the kitchen table, Dionne and Yvette welcome Adrienne Bailon-Houghton for an intimate conversation about miscarriage, IVF, and the kind of grief that often goes unseen. With their signature breathwork and gentle disclaimers (no medical advice—just lived experience), they create space for Adrienne to share what her body remembers: the shock of failed cycles, the ache of embryos that didn’t take, the compounded losses, and the quiet shame and anger that can surface—even for someone rooted deeply in faith. Adrienne speaks candidly about eight rounds of IVF, the rituals that carried her through, the heartbreak of hearing “no heartbeat,” and the complicated longing to see yourself reflected in your child. Together, they explore partner grief, spiritual confusion, and what it means to hold hope while your light feels dim. If this topic is tender, take care of your heart as you listen. And if you’ve walked this road, may this episode remind you: your grief is real, and you are not alone.

  • Turning Pain Into Purpose

    Turning Pain Into Purpose
    Feb 24 2026
    This week on Two Mothers, One Ashé, Dionne and Yvette sit with Shamayim “Mama Shu” Harris, founder of Avalon Village, for a conversation that moves far beyond titles and accolades. After grounding together in breath, Mama Shu opens up about the losses that reshaped her life—her mother, Christine, and her sons, Jakobi Ra and Chinyelu. She shares what it meant to survive the kind of grief that feels unsurvivable… and the moment she realized she was still here. Together, they explore ancestors, purpose, community, and the radical idea that joy is not a betrayal of the ones we’ve lost. This episode is about finding meaning, building containers for love, and allowing grief to transform—not define—you. We close, as always, with a moment of Ashé, speaking names aloud and breathing life into memory.
