The Worst Girl Gang Ever

This week we chat to Louisa, founder of ‘Zion’s Lighthouse’ and host of podcast ‘Love, life & loss’ (links at the bottom of the shownotes) 
Louisa shares her journey through miscarriage and how the loss of her beautiful Zion after he was born prematurely inspired her to start ‘Zion’s Lighthouse’ an organisation devoted to advocacy, support and education around Baby Loss.

Ooof, this is an emotional one people. 
This week we chat to Sian Gardner https://www.instagram.com/flicks_and_red_lips/ We last had her on the podcast back in season 8 (no one can remember the episode number, but it was forty something) 

In our previous episode, Sian talked about the loss of her baby boy, Chase to a TFMR (termination for medical reasons) 
Since we recorded, Sian has gone on to experience another TFMR with her daughter Aubrey. 

In this epsiode, we talk about the strength of the TFMR community, the help that Sian has sought out and received and the pain of losing a second child in this way, alongside the joy she was able to find during her pregnancy and birth with Aubrey. 

This is a hugely personal and emotional episode, but one that is full of inspiration and beauty. 

There’s support for TFMR out there - here are the resources we cover in this podcast episode.

Do your boobs hang low, can you tie them in a bow? 
This is basically the energy levels we’re bringing to you this week. 
Bex is fresh off her UK photography tour for our upcoming exhibition (although is far from being actually fresh) and the girls chat about the tour itself, the exhibition in October at the vagina museum & how you can get involved. 

It’s a very lighthearted one, with LOTS of singing, bickering and LOL’s. 
You can find details on our campaign and exhibition here:

If you would like to find out more about how you can get involved, please email info@twgge.co.uk with Exhibition in the subject line. 

We are also looking for sponsors & Partnerships xxx

This week we chat to Amy & Nat from Riot about the dark comedy they have written ‘A thirty something’s guide to your first miscarriage’ The girls are currently fundraising to make this film a reality and Bex & Laura are getting involved to help bang that drum even louder (they have also been promised cameo roles) 
We ask that if you’ve ever felt your experience has been minimised, if you’ve ever been the victim of a sentence starting with ‘at least’ donate a pound to help bring this film into existence, not just for now, but so it can be found by women in the future, searching for something that makes them feel less alone.
