Janel opens up about her long and emotional journey through PCOS, ectopic pregnancies, and failed rounds of IVF. With raw honesty, she shares the grief, frustration, and isolation that can come with trying to conceive in a body that doesn’t follow the rules.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your fertility struggles, or if you care about the future of reproductive healthcare, this conversation will move you, validate you, and maybe even light a fire in you.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow board membe Jenna, a mother who knows the depths of unimaginable loss. Jenna’s son, Tripp, was born after a terrifying delivery and spent ten days in the NICU before she faced the unthinkable—leaving the hospital without him. She shares how that moment went against everything biological in her body, how the weight of grief felt impossible to survive, and how she didn’t just lose a baby—she lost an entire lifetime she had envisioned.

But Jenna’s story is also one of transformation. Ten years later, she continues to honor Tripp’s memory through Tripp’s 10 Days of Giving, sponsoring a classroom each year to represent the grade he would be in. She speaks about turning her grief into passion, using his name for good, and ensuring his legacy lives on. And in the most heartfelt ending, she shares the one thing she would tell Tripp if she could—"I would find you and choose you in every lifetime."

This is an episode about grief, resilience, and love that never fades. Tune in for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends. 🎧💙 #TrippsLegacy #GriefToPassion #InfantLossAwareness
