Love, Life & Loss was founded by Louisa Hendrickson, inspired by her journey through extensive maternity complications and multiple losses. Motivated by a deep desire to speak openly about her son Zion and create a legacy for him. Louisa recognised that there was rarely space for these conversations, too often, people felt awkward or withdrew from the topic. Refusing to let silence prevail, she created this podcast as a safe, honest platform where these stories can be shared and understood, without taboo, discomfort, or silence. It offers a space where stories can be shared safely, and where listeners can learn, reflect, and feel less alone in their experiences. Love, Life & Loss is rooted in lived experience, compassion and exists to amplify voices, challenge stigma, and help people better understand the realities of grief, loss, and trauma.
