    Pregnancy Loss, Stillbirth, and Healing Through Motherhood (#71) Sep 16, 2022
    Show notes

    In 2021, blogger and creator of The Mommy Codes Julie Barzman experienced the devastating stillbirth of her son, Blake — a loss that forever changed her life. Alongside the pain of losing her child and her own mother, Julie found herself navigating grief while also stepping into motherhood again with her daughter, Zoe.

    Through writing and sharing her story, Julie has built a community for other mothers coping with loss, grief, and healing. Her voice is both vulnerable and empowering, offering comfort, solidarity, and hope to anyone walking a similar path.

    This episode explores the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, the challenges of grieving while mothering, and the ways storytelling and community can become powerful tools for healing.

    Losing My Father on 9/11: A Personal Story of Grief and Healing (#70) Sep 09, 2022
    Show notes

    On September 11, 2001, I was 12 years old when my father died in the World Trade Center while working for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of Tower 1. That moment changed my life forever — and it became the origin of DEAD Talks.

    In this raw and unscripted episode, I share my personal story of losing my father, the trauma of that day, and how grief has shaped me into the man I am today. Speaking openly and from the heart, I reflect on how 9/11 altered not just my life, but the lives of countless others, and why keeping these stories alive is essential.

    This conversation is a reminder of the power of vulnerability, the importance of sharing grief, and how even the darkest days can plant the seeds of purpose.
