and be sure to check out my other links I’m Kristin Mundy—birth, postpartum, and bereavement doula, childbirth educator, podcast host, and mother of three: my daughter Sena, who I hold in my arms, and

my babies Vienna and William, who I hold in my heart. After experiencing four pregnancy losses, I found myself navigating a path that felt incredibly lonely… especially when I became pregnant again. I quickly realized that the kind of support mothers need in life after loss—real, honest, compassionate support—was missing. At The Doula Life, I support women through every stage of this journey—
whether you are grieving, trying to conceive again, pregnant after loss, or parenting after loss. Because this isn’t just about getting through it…
it’s about having a place where you feel held, understood, and supported in what can feel like the most complex and tender seasons of your life. Inside this space, you’ll find:
🤍 Birth, postpartum, and bereavement education and workshops
🤍 Mother Like No Other—a community for women trying to navigate their life after loss
🤍 The Haven—a deeply supportive space for mothers who are pregnant after loss
🤍 The Rainbow Connection Podcast—a place where we share the stories of our angel babies and the babies who come after

No matter where you are in your journey there is space for you here. My mission is to support mothers who are living in the “after”—after grief, after goodbye, after loss—especially those now holding new life while still carrying love for the babies they will never forget. If that’s you, please know: you are not alone, and you don’t have to do this without support.

1) it’s emotional to share our story— and it isn’t just emotional the day of. the day your episode is released, and the days that follow can feel very raw and vulnerable

2) some people who listen may have follow up questions or need some clarifying. for some, this is a welcomed response— we’ve been wanting to share! some of us, may not be ready. it is something to be prepared for!

3) some people may really need to talk about what they heard. you may need to hold some space for those conversations (i know, it sucks) — but it can mean the seal has been broken, and this may feel like a step forward

4) now that some people have heard you talk about your baby freely, how much they mean to you, they may be more comfortable talking to you about your baby and your experience

5) some of us have never been able to talk about our story from start to finish— or have someone ask them questions. this might uncover parts you’ve forgotten

6) there WILL be women who relate to what you shared and they be may want to connect

7)listening to our stories on audio or video, for some, feels like a much safer (or less vulnerable) way to hold your space. you may be surprised at who listens to your story, and who finally gets to see you for the first time

8)some people who listen will still not understand, still say the wrong things, still avoid your grief or mentioning your baby - this can feel like another secondary loss. its best to try going in with zero expectations from those around us

9) our babys stories are SO IMPORTANT — when hearing it back, you might want to criticize how you communicated, BUT the good news is: this podcast is not the be all and end all. you can share your story again and again and add details later. you have an entire lifetime to tell your baby’s story!

id also add… expect to be so so so proud of yourself. some tears (or many) and maybe, the start of a new healing journey 🕊️

we are officially less than a week away from SEASON TWO of the rainbow connection podcast 🌈 — don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode

no lunch to pack
no proud photo to take on the front stoop
no tearfull drop off

when you lose your baby, you dont just lose them… you lose a lifetime ❤️‍🩹

in the early days of grief, we may find ourselves looking ahead, and mentally choosing the milestones that might feel particularly difficult for us (aka canvassing) we do it so we can try to best prepare for the possibilities of those days… what am i going to face? how am i going to feel? what could i expect? it is a safety mechanism 🫶🏼

but i think some days, you can’t really prepare for— you just have to ride the wave

well today i am riding
it is a day i canvassed early on, knowing it would be a tough one. i experienced it last year on what should have been viennas first day, and here i am experiencing it a second time

my son should be starting junior kindergarten today, and my daughter should be starting senior kindergarten — a milestone day for any parent

but instead, i am watching the women and friends i shared my pregnancy with from the sidelines, shipping their littles off, wishing we could commemorate the day together. wishing that was my sweet baby holding up her sign, too. wishing i could experience the pride and joy of seeing my girl grow up

happy for them, sad for me
sad for my baby and the beautiful life they are missing

yep, this post is a sad one.. because i am sad, because it is sad
but i know i am not alone. i know there is another mama reading this right now, whose baby should be starting today too. whose feeling ashamed to still have such big feelings, all this time later. who may be feeling unseen, or their child forgotten

i see you mama, and i am remembering with you what today should of been for your baby. you are not alone 🤍🤍🤍

do you find yourself “canvassing” too? does it help?

mark your calendars: season two of the rainbow connection podcast 🌈 is officially dropping on september 15th 🌈🥲🤍🙏🏼

we are less than two weeks away! and i have so much to share with you…

here’s what’s staying:
the raw, honest conversations about loss, grief, hope, and everything in between. the stories that make you feel like someone finally gets it. the space that was always built for the loss mom who needs to see herself and find understanding and validation in her own story

here is what’s evolving:
we are welcoming some truly INCREDIBLE, pinch-me guests this season. practitioners and world renown experts who are doing work in this space that we (myself included) desperately need to hear from — i have learned so much in these conversations!

last year i knit this podcast together, with a prayer, a hope and a vision that it would land the way i intended it to. this year i am entering this launch feeling so much more confident, and fundamentally changed by every conversation i’ve had

if you want to support the rainbow connection podcast 🌈 before we launch — give us a follow if you haven’t already, share it with a mom who might need to hear it, and leave us a review on apple podcasts or spotify

and tell me: who or what do you want us to bring into the space this season? a type of practitioner, a kind of story, a topic you haven’t heard talked about honestly yet? i sincerely want to hear your thoughts below 🤍

i’ll see you on september 15th 🎙️🌈

time has never moved faster and slower than it has these past 5 years

in case you are new here, hi and welcome

september holds a lot of weight for me —
it is both of my daughters birthdays - my stillborn daughter vienna’s, and her little sister sena’s. it is the most joyous and painful month of the year

my girls were born almost exactly 2 years apart, less a day.. on september 21st and september 22nd

i don’t need a calendar to know it is their birth month… i can feel it deep within in my bones. and as the days inch closer, with every passing sunset, the anticipation and pain in my heart grows

every loss mama will know what i am talking about. the lead up is just as bad, (if not worse) than the actual day. the rumination, the memories of what you did years prior, what you were feeling, what you would have changed, what you wish you could go back to… it is so relentless

with vienna’s 5th heavenly birthday approaching, that much more permanence is setting in. her death and meeting her and saying goodbye feels so so very far away now, yet somehow I can remember and feel it like it was just yesterday

and suddenly september held another story, with the birth of my earthside daughter… a prayer answered at the time my heart hurt most. the universe sure has a sense of humour

while i enter this tender month, i am reminded by some words i wrote in the early days after vienna’s passing…

“despite the deafening loneliness, we pick ourselves up day after day and we do what moms do best… we bear it.

And we bear this grief with honour, and with grit, and pain and tears because our baby is worth every single bit of it. The pain I hear won’t be this raw forever, but this grief will forever journey with me, because she is a part of me. because we are sacredly tethered together, forever.

because I am her mother”

5 years later, i can now confidently say that these words are so true

this month might mean wintering, or coming on here being loud and proud, im not sure — but id love it if you could remember my girl alongside me, while also celebrating the one who is here. they are why we are here and why TDL exists

here’s to my girlies birth month
two powerful forces that rudely, passionately, and fiercely woke up this mama’s heart

08/31/2026

we have lots of new faces around here — and i’d love to get to know you better 🤍

where are you at in your motherhood journey? i know we all have a story that is so much bigger than a few simple emojis; so feel free to elaborate, share or add whatever you feel comfortable with 🫶🏼

you aren’t alone
i’m so glad you’re here 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍🤍

and no, it wasnt everything happens for a reason

here’s what i REALLY needed to hear after my miscarriage:

“this was real”
it doesn’t matter how many weeks you were. it doesn’t matter if no one else knew. the hope was real. the plans were real. the future you were beginning to imagine was real. your baby was (and is) real

when this chapter with them ended, something real was taken from you.

“miscarriage is birth”
your body might have laboured. you bled. you brought your baby into the world, even if it was quiet. even if it was early. even if it was in a hospital room. even if you were alone and no one else witnessed it

your motherhood started here

“you are going through postpartum”
what you’re feeling isn’t “just grief.” your hormones are shifting. your body is recalibrating. you are recovering physically and emotionally at the same time

you deserve rest, nourishment, warmth and care.. just like any postpartum mama

“your baby matters”
there is no right way to honour them. there is no timeline for your grief. no rulebook for how this should look

you get to remember your baby in whatever way feels true to you

if you are preparing to have a miscarriage at home, or you are going through one right now, first i want to say i am so deeply sorry … especially if you are carrying this alone

i created a guide to gently support you through — to help you feel informed and lovingly cared for during a time that can feel so incredibly isolating

comment or dm me “guide” and i’ll send it right to your dm’s (don’t forget to check your request folder)

you are not alone in this mama 🤍

so many mothers carry their grief quietly… tucking away their baby’s name, their memories, their journey, their heartbreak

not because they want to, but because they’re afraid of being misunderstood, being minimized or even worse… being met with silence

but grief grows heavier in isolation
we can find healing when our grief is witnessed safely by others and we aren’t holding it all alone (hello, coregulation!)

you deserve that kind of healing. you deserve a safe place where your story, your baby, and your heart are met with compassion — a place where you don’t have to explain yourself just to be understood

1. every day is flight or fight — your nervous system needs loving attention DAILY

2. milestones carry a different weight now, but every one (even the little ones) deserve to be acknowledged

3. community is medicine — isolation often feels like the easier choice in the moment, but finding “your people” is going to be what sustains you

4. being strong can often look like falling apart — walls aren’t meant to and can’t stand forever. strength means allowing yourself the space to feel

5. yep… this really is as hard as it feels ❤️‍🩹

6. boundaries are an act of kindness — to you and those around you. “clarity is kindness”

7. boundaries are an act of protection — nothing matters more than yours and your baby’s peace

8. that voice inside you? that’s your intuition — it’s there for a reason and you have permission to listen to it

9. triggers are real and unfortunately unavoidable. you can’t control them, but you can work on how you respond

10. this will test your relationship. lean on each other, let them into your world, and try your best to share the load

🤍

maybe reading these brought a lump to your throat. maybe it left you feeling seen, but also exhausted at the thought of carrying all of this by yourself

but here’s the good news… you do not have to white knuckle through your pregnancy after loss all alone. you actually can’t… it is too heavy 🫶🏼

these lessons didn’t just shape me, but they shaped the way i believe pregnancy after loss needs to be supported — and it is what led me to creating what the Haven is today

The Haven is a community program made for mothers who are pregnant again after loss. if you are looking for more support in this courageous journey, comment or dm me “HAVEN” to learn more

you do not have to go through your pregnancy after loss alone 🤍
