9. From Loss to Life: How Charting and Support Change Everything with Pregnancy After Loss Doula Sarah Lingle

Pregnancy after loss carries a unique weight—grief, anxiety, hope, and joy all tangled together. In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Sarah Lingle, a pregnancy after loss doula, wife, and mama of two, who shares her story of loss, infertility, and ultimately, birth after heartbreak.

Sarah opens up about what it was like to navigate early pregnancy losses, advocate for herself in the medical system, and use fertility charting as both a source of clarity and empowerment. She shares how charting helped her know her body’s timing better than her doctors—and how that knowledge quite literally changed the outcome of her pregnancies.
Together, we talk about the myths and misconceptions surrounding loss, why language like “loss is still a birth” matters, and what support families deserve during some of the hardest seasons of their lives. Sarah also shares about her course, Birthing Hope: The Birth Class for Moms Pregnant After Loss, and the virtual grief and pregnancy-after-loss support she offers to women everywhere.

This episode is tender, hopeful, and full of reminders that even in the darkest places—hope is still possible.
