The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast: Interviews with Miscarriage and Infant Loss Survivors
The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast: Interviews with Miscarriage and Infant Loss Survivors (formerly Slaying The Stigma) is a series focused on changing the narrative of miscarriage and infant loss, one voice at a time. We highlight women and men who vulnerably share their perspective, their heart and their stories. By normalizing the conversation of pregnancy loss, we are collectively encouraging those in their healing journey and educating others who are unfamiliar with the issues surrounding baby loss.
The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast helps loss moms and their allies overcome isolation and stigma, so that they can reshape the narrative surrounding baby loss together. This podcast is part of a bigger movement called Gathering Hope, where we empower women to grieve & celebrate the lives they lost alongside other mothers. Gathering Hope is a nonprofit based in Texas, reaching women across the country through our national loss mom conference, Wave of Light ceremony, workshops, social media, our Timely Tender Tote program and this podcast. In each episode, we sit down with survivors, doctors, mental health professionals, partners, and more to share their stories, insights, and expertise. From the raw emotions of grief to the resilient spirit of hope, we explore every facet of the pregnancy loss experience.To learn more about Gathering Hope, connect with us at www.SuckySisterhood.com.

Slaying the Stigma with Jessica Latshaw
Meet Jess! Getting to know her through her role as a Gathering 2022, Wave of Light speaker, and now a friend has been a joy. She is generous with her heart and her wisdom and today's episode includes a multitude of both offerings. Peyton and Jess talk about the duplicity of grief, the concept of "bouncing forward" and the ability for loss moms to hold the tension of various emotions simultaneously. Dive into her story and find hope in your own healing journey!
More about Jess: Jessica Latshaw has a BFA in dance performance from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she also studied piano and voice extensively. She has performed musical theater on many stages, most notably, the Broadway tour of A Chorus Line. She has performed her own songs on cool stages, such as NYC’s The Blue Note Jazz Club, Boston’s City Winery, and the UK’s Sage Gateshead. Jessica is a worship leader at the Barn Vineyard Church in PA. She is also a podcaster, which she co-hosts with her husband TJ (The TJ and Jess Show) weekly, writes on her substack (jessicalatshaw.substack.com), and is currently in the final edits before releasing her first book—a memoir narrating losing and loving her son Luca. Home is loud and messy—mostly because of the three little girls she and TJ get to raise and not at all because she’d rather write music than fold laundry.
