Leah Coghlan
A Carried Life is a podcast platform for women to share the stories of the lives they carried and lost due to miscarriage and how God helps carry them in their grief. Every second Monday starting September 14th, 2020 a new episode will release. Each episode will be an interview with an amazing woman of God who has experienced loss due to miscarriage. They will share with us their journey of grief, how their loss or losses have impacted their lives and hopefully bring encouragement to other mothers in their grief. My prayer is that this will be a space where the grieving mother will not feel alone and that they would know that their grief is so valid.

Hi!
Welcome to A Carried Life!
A Carried Life is a podcast platform for women to share the stories of the lives they carried and lost due to miscarriage. This podcast will start with my personal story of loss and how God has provided me hope in my journey. Every two weeks I will release a new episode interviewing an amazing woman of God who has experienced loss due to miscarriage. They will share with us their journey of grief, how their loss or losses impacted their lives and hopefully bring encouragement to other mothers in their grief. My prayer is that this will be a space where the grieving mother will not feel alone and that they would know that their grief is so valid.
