In this heartfelt episode of Scale Her Up, Brenda is joined by Abi Clarke, founder of MISS – Miscarriage Support. Abi shares the story behind starting and running a non-profit organisation that supports women and families through pregnancy loss, and the realities of building and sustaining a mission-driven organisation.

Abi talks openly about the emotional and practical challenges she’s faced along the way, from doing “all the things” herself in the early days to learning how to delegate, build a team and create more sustainable ways of working. She and Brenda explore the differences between running a charity and a traditional business, and the similarities when it comes to leadership, vision and resilience.

You’ll hear about the impact MISS is having in communities, how Abi looks after herself while holding space for others, and her hopes and plans for the future of the organisation. This is an inspiring listen for anyone running – or thinking about starting – a non-profit, social enterprise or purpose-led business.

In this episode, we cover:

• Abi’s personal journey to founding MISS – Miscarriage Support
• The realities of starting and growing a non-profit
• Learning to delegate and trust your team
• Balancing passion for the cause with the demands of running an organisation
• Why boundaries and self-care matter for founders in the caring space
• Abi’s vision for the future of MISS and the support it provides
