This episode centres on Kellie Johnson’s experience of recurrent miscarriage and the emotional complexity of navigating friendship when journeys unfold differently.
Kellie speaks candidly about the mental load of ongoing loss, the exhaustion of constant triggers, and the quiet grief that follows you even when you’re parenting, working, and “functioning.”
She reflects on what it’s like to support a pregnant friend while carrying her own heartbreak, the guilt and shame women often feel for emotions they didn’t choose, and the strength it takes to stay connected rather than withdraw.
This episode offers language for feelings many people are scared to admit — and reassurance that love, grief, and hope can exist at the same time.
Guess Bio: Kellie Johnson is the co-host of Her Kind of Brave, founder of women’s wellness brand Kosi, and a powerful advocate for honest conversations around miscarriage, mental health, and motherhood.
After experiencing multiple pregnancy losses both before and after the birth of her daughter, Kellie speaks with rare clarity about the realities of recurrent miscarriage — including the grief that continues alongside parenting, partnership, and work. Her work is grounded in lived experience, deep empathy, and a commitment to helping women feel less alone in seasons that are often carried in silence.
Through her advocacy, business, and voice, Kellie creates space for women to talk about what hurts — without needing to minimise it, fix it, or rush through it.
