Episode One: Medical Misogyny: "At Least it's just a miscarriage" with Keira Rumble Video
The Miscarriage RebellionShow Notes
Welcome to Episode 1 of The Miscarriage Rebellion. Today we focus on the medical misogyny that many women face when experiencing pregnancy loss. For too long women's feelings around pregnancy loss have been dismissed, and their pain and suffering has not been treated with the care and empathy it deserves.
In this episode, we are joined by Krumbled Food Founder and longtime supporter of Pink Elephants, Keira Rumble. Keira generously shares her pregnancy loss story and the medical misogyny she, unfortunately, experienced throughout her journey.

More from The Miscarriage Rebellion
Professionally trained as police officers, Britt and Taz are no strangers to navigating heavy and distressing situations—yet nothing could prepare them for the devastating, invisible grief of losing their baby girl, Hazel, at 14 weeks.
Welcoming a "Rainbow Baby" after pregnancy loss is a deeply layered journey—one that was entirely ignored by the commercial world a decade ago. In this episode, Sam Payne sits down with Hana Krawchuk, founder of global infant sleepwear brand Love to Dream. Hana shares how a chance meeting at the Telstra Women in Business Awards sparked a seven-year partnership with Pink Elephants, shattered retail silences, and brought early pregnancy loss support directly onto mainstream store shelves.
In this deeply moving episode, comedian and advocate Libby Parker shares her eight-year journey through eleven pregnancy losses, navigating medical misogyny, and finding hope beyond loss. Libby opens up about trusting her intuition, using humor to break down reproductive trauma, and ultimately rewriting her family narrative through foster care.
In this episode of The Miscarriage Rebellion, host Sam Payne brings together the visionaries behind the clinical architecture and frontline execution of the Pink Elephants Peer Support Program: reproductive health specialist Terry Diamond and foundation peer support companion Maggi MacDonald. Together, they trace the decade-long journey of transforming a raw, grassroots desire for connection into a highly rigorous, government-funded national support framework.
In this profoundly honest and necessary episode of The Miscarriage Rebellion, Sam sits down with Nine News presenter Tracy Vo. Tracy bravely pulls back the curtain on her deeply personal journey through the heartbreaking and heavily stigmatised landscape of Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR) with her baby boy, James, and her subsequent path to welcoming her beautiful rainbow baby, Mila.
