    Episode 11 - Dani's Story
    2025/07/07

    Today I’m joined by Dani Malone, a physiotherapist from Cork, who bravely shares her experience of an ectopic pregnancy while travelling abroad.

    Dani speaks with incredible openness about what followed, the fear, the physical toll, the grief, and the emotional impact of navigating it all, especially while so far from home.

    She also reflects on how important it was to have her loss acknowledged, and how sharing her story now is part of her healing.

    She recently ran the Cork Marathon, raising over €2,000 for Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland, and wants to keep the conversation going, so others feel less alone.

    This episode is a raw and important listen and I’m so grateful to Dani for sharing her voice, and her baby’s, with us.

    Some parts of this episode touch on baby loss and may feel emotionally heavy so please take care as you listen.

    Episode 9 - Jennifer's Story
    2025/06/23

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer, a psychotherapist and advocate with Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland.

    Jennifer shares the deeply personal story of her ectopic pregnancy in 2007, when at just 8 weeks, she collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital. It was a traumatic and life-threatening experience.

    After her ectopic pregnancy, Jennifer faced years of fertility struggles. She moved towards IVF in 2009, and during her treatment prep, she was diagnosed with complications that were later treated. In a beautiful turn, she went on to conceive naturally.

    We talk about the emotional and physical toll of ectopic pregnancy, how grief shows up differently for everyone and she shares how she became involved with Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland.

    This is a really honest, vulnerable conversation, full of heart and healing. I’m so grateful to Jennifer her openness and strength in sharing it.
