    Episode 53: Kristen Carrier | Child Loss
    Aug 4 2025

    We couldn't be more grateful for such a powerful conversation with Kristen Carrier. Her daughter August was born congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) - unknown to her and her husband - and passed away shortly after birth. Her ability to pay-it-forward by leading with kindness and vulnerability, left an indelible impression. She had incredible advice for other grieving parents and is raising her two boys to not only remember August, but to openly talk about her and celebrated her.
