Send us Fan Mail Pregnancy loss, infertility, and the challenges of motherhood remain some of the biggest workplace taboos - until now. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, co-hosts Marion, Cacha, and Danny sit down with Ashley Kera to break the silence around miscarriage, the emotional toll of pregnancy in the workplace, and the impossible balancing act so many women face when navigating career and family. Ashley shares her own journey - one marked by loss, resilience, and tough choices - and unpacks the unspoken pressures that working mothers and aspiring parents experience every day. From outdated policies to workplace shame, we dive into why so many suffer in silence and what organizations (and individuals) can do to change that. Why is pregnancy loss still so difficult to talk about at work? How do corporate cultures contribute to shame and silence? What policies actually support working parents - and which ones just look good on paper? How can managers and colleagues show real support? Whether you've experienced this firsthand, know someone who has, or just want to be a better ally in the workplace, this episode is a must-listen.
