In this raw and unfiltered episode of Cry It Out Loud, we sit down with infertility warrior and social media trailblazer Andrea Leon (@hotmessivfmom) for a powerful conversation on baby loss - miscarriage, stillbirth, IVF trauma, and what it really means to grieve in public.

Andrea opens up about how she used her voice—and her platform—to break silence around recurrent loss, the pressure to “be okay,” and the healing power of being witnessed.

We talk shame, triggers, trolls, social media boundaries, and what she wishes every person knew about supporting someone in grief.

🔥 Why this episode matters: • The algorithm may favor polished reels, but healing is messy • Andrea shares what not to say to a loss parent • Grief doesn’t expire—and neither does your right to speak

🎧 This one is for the mom who’s holding her breath in the waiting room.
For the dad staring at an empty nursery.
For the parents who are still parents, even when the world forgets.

⏳ Don’t wait to speak your truth.
