A2H #6 | How a Storyteller Finds Hope After Miscarriages with Paige Pelonis

December 13, 2022 • David Morin • Season 1 • Episode 6

Imagine you find the perfect partner.

You fall in love, build a life together, get married and then make plans to start a family. Sounds pretty ideal, right?

Except for the part where covid shuts down the world 48 hours after your wedding.

Oh and the part where life decides to wreck havoc on your hormones, causing you to have 2 miscarriages in the same year, forcing you to fight a battle you never asked for.

How do you fight to win when all feels lost?

Meet Paige Pelonis, a mother of three angel babies, a natural born storyteller, a wife, and a Long Beach native with a heart as big as her city.

She is also the Founder and Executive Director of City HeART, where Paige pioneers a story telling initiave to raise awareness and serve the veterans, seniors, and unhoused families in the city of Long Beach.

In today’s episode we talk about how leaning on storytelling and expression, both personally and profesionally, is getting Paige through one of the most difficult chapters in her life.

We also talk about how our relationships to things like food, alochol, and humor influence our voice so that the truths we need to express can help others feel less alone and find a space for healing in our vulnerability.
