“The Wisdom in the Waiting” — Tallia Deljou on Grief, Healing, and the Path to Her Baby
Tallia Deljou shares the story of her son, born at 22 weeks, and the transformative journey that followed — through miscarriage, grief, and the slow reimagining of what motherhood could look like after loss. In this heartfelt conversation, Tallia opens up about rebuilding trust in her body, choosing not to become pregnant again, and finding peace and purpose in the waiting as she prepares to grow her family through surrogacy.
We talk about:
Navigating multiple pregnancy losses and a 22-week delivery
The shock, grief, and meaning-making that followed loss
Rebuilding trust in her body and marriage after trauma
Choosing not to get pregnant again and honoring her boundaries
Exploring surrogacy and learning to wait with hope
The spiritual and emotional lessons of loss and surrender
Creating Mothers Rising, a space for moms-in-waiting
Healing through community, reflection, and inner work
Learning to give hope a place to live again
This episode is a tender, powerful reminder that grief and beauty can coexist — and that birth, even in loss, can absolutely be sacred.
