Show Notes
You never really know what someone else is going through. Sometimes the biggest smiles are suffering most deeply or fighting battles behind closed doors. When I met this goddess Bianca, with her vibrant energy and fiery red hair, I never would have expected the tragic loss, grief and pain she has endured.
Bianca's story of losing two of her babies to still birth is absolutely heartbreaking. However she has openly and vulnerably shared her incredible journey of strength, grace, love and resilience to encourage us all to speak our truths. This episode is in honour of her angel babies, Luna and Atlas and to her rainbow miracle who has brought light to the darkness, Sage Golden.
