237: The Fiery Feminist Spirit with Frieda Hoffman

Transformative coach, mediator, creative consultant, and first time author of Carry Me: Stories of Pregnancy Loss, Frieda Hoffman joins Chelsea 10 minutes in to normalize the dialogue around death and desire and open up about the emotional seesaw of infertility and pregnancy loss, cycling between hope and disappointment, an all encompassing love and then estrangement, and learning to chart one’s own path with a fiery feminist spirit in the midst of surrendering to the vulnerable space of partnership, the mystery of one’s body, and the lurking sense that maybe this isn’t meant for me.

We talk about struggling with depression and suicidal ideations as a teenager, turning dark energy into a big energetic ball of human and creative potential, debunking the myth of needing to be fully healed to be worthy of a fulfilling and freeing partnership, and the beauty and bravery of gifting ourselves the possibility of love and more connection especially when we’re not a finished masterpiece.
