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.

What does it feel like to care for a loss mom when you can’t fix what’s broken?
In this episode of The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast, Peyton sits down with Dr. Lisette Saleh, a labor and delivery nurse and nursing professor at Texas Christian University, who has spent over 20 years caring for women and now prepares future nurses to do the same.
Together, they talk about:
- The emotional weight nurses carry in moments of loss
- The gap between what providers are taught and what loss moms actually need
- How presence, language, and small actions can shape a mom’s experience
Lisette shares her first experience caring for a loss mom, what she wishes she had known earlier in her career, and how fear of saying the wrong thing can sometimes keep caregivers from showing up fully.
This conversation helps bridge the gap between loss moms and the people who care for them, offering a deeper understanding of what meaningful, compassionate care can look like in moments of loss.
