Late in her second pregnancy Tarryn experienced a devastating loss in her family and she shares openly about how those very raw feelings came up in her birth.

She went on to experience postnatal depression after Hermione's birth and describes what it was like navigating that time with a newborn while also processing the grief of loss, sleep deprivation and the changed family dynamics going from 1-2 children.
