Summary

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Cry It Out Loud , we sit down with infertility warrior and social media trailblazer Andrea Leon (@ hotmessivfmom ) for a powerful conversation on baby loss - miscarriage, stillbirth, IVF trauma , and what it really means to grieve in public. Andrea opens up about how she used her voice—and her platform—to break silence around recurrent loss , the pressure to “be okay,” and the healing power of being witnessed . We talk shame, triggers, trolls, social media boundaries, and what she wishes every person knew about supporting someone in grief. 🔥 Why this episode matters: • The algorithm may favor polished reels, but healing is messy • Andrea shares what not to say to a loss parent • Grief doesn’t expire —and neither does your right to speak 🎧 This one is for the mom who’s holding her breath in the waiting room. For the dad staring at an empty nursery. For the parents who are still parents , even when the world forgets. ⏳ Don’t wait to speak your truth. 📌 Subscribe & share this with someone who needs to hear: You’re not broken. You’re grieving. And you’re not alone. #CryItOutLoud #ChasingTheRainbows #AndreaLeon #InfertilityPodcast #PregnancyLoss #StillbirthAwareness #GriefSupport #IVFJourney #BreakingSilence #HealingInPublic #infertility #babyloss #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #infantloss #pregnancyafterloss #unitinglossparents #lossparents #lossmomtok #griefpodcast
