Normalize It: Breaking the Silence Around Pregnancy Loss with Dr. Jessica Zucker

Today’s episode features the deeply compassionate and groundbreaking voice of Dr. Jessica Zucker, a Los Angeles–based psychologist specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health. With a PhD in clinical psychology and a master’s in public health, Jessica has become a powerful advocate for breaking the silence around pregnancy loss and the complex realities of motherhood. Her first book, I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement, sparked a global conversation about grief, healing, and the need for honest storytelling. Today, we’re here to talk about her new book, Normalize It—a call to challenge stigma, embrace nuance, and make space for the full spectrum of human experience, particularly in relation to women’s health, identity, and mental well-being. Jessica is also the creator of the viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, which continues to create powerful ripple effects across communities worldwide.
