In this episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, hosts Bex Gunn & Laura Buckingham talk about the challenges faced when dealing with loss and fertility issues in the workplace.
They share personal stories, like Bex’s experience as a wedding photographer struggling to balance her booked schedule with the difficulties she faced conceiving.
Laura and Bex highlight the need for sensitivity and support in the workplace. They explore the delicate balance of returning to work after baby loss and the necessity of proper support from workplaces. They share stories of triggers in professional environments as well as highlight the significance of educating employees about handling these situations.
Bex and Laura emphasise that everyone's journey is unique, and the ultimate importance lies in doing what feels right for oneself while embracing self-care and well-being.
