Finding Space is a podcast dedicated to pregnancy loss, the challenges of trying to conceive, and the heartbreak of never bringing a baby home. I know how isolating this journey can feel; and my mission is to remind you that you are never alone. Whether you’re grieving, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking to understand, I invite you to join me for honest, raw conversations as we create space for healing, connection, and hope.

In today's episode of Finding Space, I’m joined by Maria Walsh MEP.
Many will know Maria from her work in politics and advocacy, and as the 2014 International Rose of Tralee, but today she joins me to share a very different and personal part of her life.
We talk about Maria’s decision to become a solo mum, her experience of fertility treatment and donor conception, pregnancy after treatment, how she's balanced it all alongside a demanding career, and why conversations like these matter.
A really open and personal conversation, and one I’m so grateful Maria took the time to share.
In this episode, we touch on:
Choosing to become a solo mum
Fertility treatment
Donor conception
Hormonal impact of treatment
The importance of more open conversations around fertility and different paths to parenthood
As always, please take care while listening.

Episode 40 - Laura's Story
In today's episode I'm joined by Laura Boland. Some of you might remember Laura from Episode 14 of Finding Space.
When we first recorded in late July last year, Laura shared her fertility journey with incredible honesty. She spoke about endometriosis, IVF, the early arrival of her son Charlie, an ectopic pregnancy, failed embryo transfers and the heartbreaking loss of another much-loved baby.
Just a few weeks after we recorded our first conversation, Laura found out she was pregnant.
Today, she's back to share what happened next. We talk about pregnancy after loss, the anxiety and uncertainty that can come with it, what life looks like now after everything she's been through, and how welcoming another baby doesn't take away the love or grief for babies lost.
We also reflect on the power of sharing our stories, why hearing hopeful news from others who have walked a similar path can bring a different kind of joy, and how speaking openly about our experiences can help us process what we've carried for so long.
In this episode, we touch on:
▪︎ Pregnancy after loss
▪︎ The anxiety and uncertainty that can come with it
▪︎ The lasting impact of pregnancy loss▪︎ Why one baby can never replace another
▪︎ The power of sharing our stories
▪︎ Finding hope after infertility and pregnancy loss
As always, please take care while listening.
