Ep 21: Meet The Tribe Featuring Mary Porter-Chorley

Author: Natalee Facey March 27, 2021 Duration: 26:23

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the members our Birth Warrior Community on Facebook, Mary Kristine Porter-Chorley. Mary is Mama to her son, Joseph, who lives in the sky, and an adorable cat named Gizmo.

 

She's also the co-founder of "Love from O," a baby-loss charity providing support for men, non birthing partners & families. (Shout-out to Shannen Read, another beautiful Birth Warrior based in the U.K. who cofounded Love from O with Mary). 

 

To connect with Mary, find her on IG (@thechorleyedit) or on her blog (https://thechorleyedit.blogspot.com). And of course, join her and the other Birth Warriors inside of our private Facebook community: facebook.com/groups/birthwarriorcommunity

Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
