In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Abigail sits down with transformational leader Natalie Demerson-Watkins, founder of Anchored Life Academy and Anchored Life Foundation, to explore the emotional and spiritual impact of miscarriage and infant loss — especially for high-achieving women who feel pressure to “bounce back.”
Natalie shares her living testimony of recurring miscarriage, the premature birth and loss of her daughter Rozlyn at 26 weeks, and the four-year journey of shattered faith, surrender, and rebuilding that followed.
Together, they discuss:
• The silent grief high-achieving women carry
• The myth of bouncing back after reproductive loss
• Shame, guilt, and questioning your body
• Faith after loss — when belief feels broken
• Showing up professionally while privately grieving
• How to support someone experiencing miscarriage
• The difference between grief support and coaching readiness
• Natalie’s 3-part healing process: Shattering, Rebuilding, Reconciliation
This episode expands the conversation beyond physical pregnancy loss to include unspoken reproductive grief — miscarriage, infant loss, infertility, IVF attempts, pregnancy yearning, and identity disruption.
If you’ve ever felt strong in public but shattered in private, this conversation is for you.
You are not broken. You are becoming.

Isaiah 61:1-3 NLT
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the LORD’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory.
