    Everyone says "it takes a village to raise a child," but what about the village to support you after a devastating loss through miscarriage, stillbirth or any kind of baby loss? Sometimes it can feel difficult to find people who really get it and can help you feel less alone.

    In today's episode I am sharing different types of support, why they are amazing and why they can be challenging.

    Then I'm sharing the three biggest obstacles that I see to people actually taking steps towards building that strong support network you need after loss and beyond.

    You'll feel so ready to ditch loneliness and start feeling held.

    189 How to Check in with Yourself
    May 1 2025
    In episode 189 of the Smooth Stones Podcast, I share a powerful tool that I regularly use with my clients - the check-in. I'll guide you on how to perform your own daily or weekly check-ins to assess both your physical and emotional well-being. This involves scanning your body, evaluating your nervous system, and reflecting on your recent experiences. We'll explore essential questions like 'What are your wins?', 'What's working and what's not?', and 'What support do I need?' These steps help you understand your needs and make the necessary changes to aid your healing journey. It's important to recognize that listening to a podcast is helpful, but taking the additional step of working with a coach can provide tailored support. I encourage you to take advantage of my free mini-course on how to stop blaming yourself, especially if you've experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or baby loss. By performing these intentional check-ins, you empower yourself to better navigate grief and create positive shifts in your life. Reach out through my website or Instagram for further support, and remember you are not alone in this journey. 00:00 Welcome to Smooth Stones Podcast 00:24 The Power of Coaching 01:04 Programs and Support 02:23 Daily Check-In Practice 04:38 Body Scan Techniques 09:28 Evaluating Your Wins 10:56 Identifying Challenges 12:49 Seeking Support 16:24 Conclusion and Contact Information
