One minute you’re dreaming about baby names, imagining tiny fingers and first giggles, and the next it’s gone. The excitement, the hope, the heartbeat, all of it disappears, leaving behind a silence that feels unbearable. How do you even begin to explain that kind of pain? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, host Kelly Renne gets real about a topic many shy away from: miscarriage and pregnancy loss. In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, Kelly shares her own heartbreaking journey through four miscarriages, including an ectopic pregnancy, and the emotional roller coaster that followed. She opens up about the fear that replaces joy after loss, the strain it can put on relationships, and the silent grief so many women carry alone. With vulnerability and strength, Kelly reminds listeners that they’re not alone, even if it feels that way, and that hope can still bloom after heartbreak. This episode is raw, unfiltered, and full of hard truths wrapped in compassion.  Whether you’ve experienced loss yourself or want to support someone who has, Kelly’s story will touch your heart, shift your perspective, and remind you that healing is possible and that your story still matters. Key Takeaways Grief is not a race. Every woman’s healing timeline is different. You are not alone. Miscarriage is more common than most people realize. Faith and surrender bring peace. Some endings lead to greater purpose. Hope can exist alongside heartbreak. Fear and belief can coexist. Gentleness heals. Be kind to yourself and others; you never know their silent battles.
