Paul is going to share with us the story of his daughter Leia. Her story is one of joy and love, but also of loss. We want to give a disclaimer that this episode does include a discussion on pregnancy trauma and infant loss. If that is a triggering subject for the listener we advise you to be gentle on yourself and only listen if you feel it's safe to do so. Otherwise we welcome you here and hope that Leia and Paul’s story can bring you some help and encouragement. Paul often says that when one shares his story with another two are healed. With that let's get into this special episode.
