I have developed this amazing course. It really is something I’m proud of and when I mention it to women, I can see by the tears in their eyes that this is a topic that touches them.
My friend, who was a Nurse for 35 years immediately said: “how many languages is it translated into?”
I condensed insights of over 20 years of working as a bodymind therapist and years of teaching into an incredible course. It took hours, days, weeks, months. The material is solid, the tools are accessible to help women on a daily basis and the packaging is easy to navigate and intuitive…. I’ve spent thousands of my own $ and not even one course has sold! It is not overpriced. End of the day pricing is $797. Today as a promotion $297. Really the course is invaluable.
I’m trying to understand what is stopping people. Is it fear of ripping off the bandage? Is there a general unawareness of the depth of pain because it is a silent conversation? Do women just believe they need to bottle it up and continue on because that’s the status quo? Even topics like cancer, death and war are open conversations. Why do I have to choose the one that is not? Because I have seen so many women who carry the pain of miscarriage and heard many women in my office who are still suffering years later, and am in the position to have the insight that this is a burden for women AND that it does not have to be!
However, right now, it is a “silent” conversation. It is so silent that no one is talking about it. Through the sponsored advert on Facebook, there have been over 50,000 people who liked the article. Surprisingly… only one person messaged me with her story, one person shared that they’d had several miscarriages and now has 2 healthy toddlers, but she’d felt very alone at the times she’d had the miscarriage. Another said it should be a private issue between a women and her husband and she was sick of people oversharing on social media, and one other who was grateful to have the insights so she could support her cousin who had had a miscarriage. 4 comments from that many people. Zero takers on the course.
I’m asking people to talk about something that isn’t talked about. Even worse, I’m asking women to honour themselves in recognizing they could be hurting and need some help to move through the hurt. How do I start the conversation?
How would you start the conversation? Have I jinxed this course by calling it the silent conversation? What would you call the conversation about miscarriage? How about: “don’t talk about it”, “A Family Issue”, “Doctors Know Best”, “Afraid to Speak”, “Walls so high there’s no bringing them down”, “Private Matters”, “A Buried Thorn Festers”…?!
I’m sure I’m not the first person whose experienced this frustration. I recognize my limitations, though, got humble and hired someone to do my marketing. She is very enthusiastic and good at her job, for other people and programs. This is a hard one though, a challenge.
- Awareness: miscarriage can be traumatic
- At least 25-50% of women have had a miscarriage
- There is an amazing online course called Moving Through Miscarriage that takes 4 weeks and contains a lifetime of benefits for women of any age and any amount of time passed since the miscarriage.
- Online because it is such a common trauma and women in isolated communities and/or those who don’t have the ability to go to therapy can access healing.
What will it take to get the monkey-mind off my back? What would it take to get people talking about miscarriage and the impact it can have…. Your input would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me either through Facebook, Twitter or e-mail!
