“She’s the Reason for All of This” — Solo Episode with Kristin Mundy on Birthing and Losing Her Daughter Vienna
In this deeply personal solo episode, Kristin shares the sacred and heart-shattering story of her daughter, Vienna Elisabeth. Recorded on the 4 year anniversary of publicly sharing Vienna’s stillbirth, Kristin finally tells her full story — from pregnancy, to the subtle warning signs that were overlooked, to the sacred and devastating moments of birth, and the grief and healing that followed.
We talk about:
Experiencing multiple pregnancy losses before Vienna
Weeks of bleeding, bedrest, and the hope of reaching milestones
The joy of preparing for a baby shower and dreaming of motherhood
The ignored warning signs in her third trimester that led to stillbirth
The powerful, sacred, and oxytocin-filled moments of birthing Vienna
Holding, naming, and spending 24 hours with her daughter
The heartbreak of leaving the hospital without her baby
Receiving a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome as the likely cause
How Vienna’s life continues to inspire The Haven, her doula work, and her motherhood
This tender and transformative episode is a reminder that even in loss, birth can be sacred — and that our love for our babies never ends.
Vienna, this one is for you. This is all for you.
