Motherhood Off the Rails

We Were On A Break! (Kinda...?)

Are we back together? Are we not? Does this busy mom of two littles who's also a part time masters student have time for these shenanigans? Definitely not, but here goes! I randomly got the podcast bug this week and decided to post this not-so-scary Halloween episode just for kicks and giggles. We aren't back for good and it won't be a consistent thing, but I missed ya'll so this is just a little something for now. I'd love to hear what you thought of the episode!

S6 E10 - Dr. Ljuba Mirsky, MD

As the season finale for what could be a really long break I am super excited for a bit of a different episode. Ljuba and I have been best friends since about 2015 when I first moved to Lexington. We were at the same church and had a very close knit group of friends. Despite many of those friends moving and drifting away we have remained as close as ever. Our friendship has only deepened over the years through my loss and just navigating adult life together. I am so excited for you all to get even just a little glimpse of her amazing mind when it comes to all things babies and mamas. So without further ado let’s jump into our season 6 finale with the one and only Dr. Ljuba Mirsky!  DISCLAIMERS: * None of this is meant to be taken as direct patient advice, and Dr. Mirsky always advises you to check with your doctor when it comes to choices that may affect your health. * Dr. Mirsky's answers to these questions all stem from her education and experience - she has not necessarily previously researched these topics in depth. So please take everything with a grain of salt.

S6 E9 - Molly's Story

Topics: miscarriage, child loss, Leigh's disease, stepparents, faith Having Molly on the podcast has been a dream of mine ever since I read her book, The Moon Is Round, twice! I randomly won the book at a raffle at some women’s event having no idea I would some day talk with the author about the rollercoaster of her motherhood story. She is an expert at telling her story and it was wonderful to hear where she is now 10 years separated from her loss. I hope you enjoy this conversation between two Kentucky girls who are also loss moms. Let’s jump right in!  You can reach out to Molly here Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/mollymhuffman/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/mollymccrackenhuffman] Resources: Grief Share [https://www.griefshare.org/] The Moon Is Round [https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Round-Story-Extraordinary-Grief/dp/B089D34VT6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TDAPSN2N403Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lZ78BxWwGfOAyDeUcIHz3g-r-uIiv0lS3PL31paUa80.s8nN8YLLIuSk8dl9mLKC_ZjHgnxmMGY9ZDhcj1kvgYk&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+moon+is+round+molly+huffman&qid=1737047607&sprefix=the+moon+is+round+molly+huffman%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1] Instagram: Motherhood Off the Rails [https://www.instagram.com/motr_pod?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D]  Email: motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com [motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com] Your story, no matter how big or small, matters here.

S6 E8 - Maleah's Story

Topic: genetic disorder, developmental delays, Xq27-Xq28 deletion I am so glad Maleah and I finally got to sit down and talk through her story. It took us what felt like forever to finally get together, but I’m so glad we did. Our conversation was the perfect ending to my podcast recording journey. I’m so glad we added this memory to our friendship. Her story is a bit different from what you usually listen to on this podcast so let me know what you think by reaching out on our Instagram. Let’s jump into Maleah’s story together!  You can reach out to Maleah here: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/maleahdh/] Instagram: Motherhood Off the Rails [https://www.instagram.com/motr_pod?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D]  Email: motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com [motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com] Your story, no matter how big or small, matters here.

S6 E7 - Ashley's Story

Topics: miscarriage, late term loss This was my last remotely recorded episode and I’m so thankful to be ending on such a great note. Ashley and I met through our mutual bestie Giselle. Ashley was also on the top of our list we made so long ago of women who might eventually share their motherhood stories. I’m thankful that we finally were able to talk through her painful, yet beautiful story. So many of you in our motherhood community are going to know exactly what Ashley went through and be able to sympathize like few others can. So without further ado let’s jump into Ashley’s story.  You can reach out to Ashley here: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ashleynicolewade27/] Instagram: Motherhood Off the Rails [https://www.instagram.com/motr_pod?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D]  Email: motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com [motherhoodofftherails@gmail.com] Your story, no matter how big or small, matters here.
