How do you keep parenting when your heart is broken?
In this powerful and vulnerable interview, Dr. B sits down with Taylor — a team member at Mentally STRONG — to talk about navigating motherhood after miscarriage, and what it truly means to be mentally strong through grief.

🔹 Grieving while still showing up as a parent
🔹 The internal conflict of pain and responsibility
🔹 Using the Mentally STRONG Method to organize painful thoughts and make intentional choices
This video is for any parent who has experienced loss — whether recent or long ago — and is trying to hold space for their grief and their children.
