I think it’s important to break the stigma and normalize talking about these difficult topics, because connecting with others who have been there was truly a game changer in my healing journey.Īfloat team: What’s your advice for someone who has a friend going through a miscarriage? On the flip side – what’s your word of advice for what not to do or say to someone going through a miscarriage? Like you mentioned, miscarriage is not talked about nearly enough for how common it is. Since I had been sharing so much of my life through my blog in the previous years, I knew this would be another opportunity to not only help other women feel less alone, but to help me begin to process the loss and grieve the way I needed to. I had a few friends who had been through pregnancy loss before, and talking to them was extremely healing and validating. My husband and I coped with the loss very differently, as most men & women do, and he just wasn’t sure how to best support me during that time. In the early weeks before I told anyone what was going on, it was SO incredibly isolating and I felt so alone. Shanna: Having a miscarriage was one of the hardest and lowest times in my life. Can you share a little bit of why you decided to be so honest and raw about your experience? Thank you for discussing such a difficult topic that so many women and families experience – but often don’t talk about. ![]() Now it is really a place where I love to share all aspects of my life, and my hope is that I can inspire women to learn how to prioritize their health without obsession or restriction, and without breaking the bank! I’m passionate about making health and wellness realistic and attainable for everyone, and helping others break free from the all or nothing mindset when it comes to their health.Īfloat team: One topic you’ve discussed on your blog and Instagram is your previous miscarriage before you had your sweet baby boy Rhett. This was before blogging & social media were much of a thing! At first, my blog was a place I was planning to share recipes & nutrition tips from a dietitian’s perspective, but over the years it has evolved SO much. ![]() It was a stressful time in my life, so I was really just looking for a hobby and creative outlet at the time. Shanna: I started my blog & Instagram account in 2015, right after graduating from Kansas State University with my Dietetics degree, and right before I took my RD exam. What inspired you to start Wellness for the Win? How long have you been doing it? I have also been married to my husband Ethan for almost 5 years, and we have two Australian Shepherds, Harley & Koda!Īfloat team: We love following your content around nutrition, wellness, and mom-ing. Motherhood has challenged me in ways I never thought possible, but it is truly the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Shanna: Thank you for having me! My name is Shanna and I am a Registered Dietitian, blogger and mama located in Kansas City! My son Rhett is 14 months old and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Please tell us a little bit about yourself! Afloat team: Thank you so much for joining us as our first guest contributor for our Ungiftable series. ![]()
