About this episode

Nikki Boyer shares her experiences with loss and miscarriage alongside psychologist Dr. Jessica Zucker, who discusses the need for a new perspective on miscarriage.

Nikki Boyer is probably best known for the podcast and Hulu series Dying for Sex , which follows her best friend, Molly, as she faces losing her life to cancer. But while Molly’s life was coming to an end, Nikki was trying to create a life. Nikki shares her story of the heartbreaking loss of multiple miscarriages.  Dr. Jessica Zucker is a psychologist in Los Angeles who has counseled many women – like Nikki – as they grieved children who would never be born. And then one day, it happened to her. Jessica says that we need to rethink the way we view – and talk about – miscarriage.
