🎧 Podcast: We chatted with Laura Malcolm, founder and CEO of Give InKind, about her journey as a loss mom and the creation of her platform that supports people during difficult life moments. Laura’s daughter, Layla, was stillborn on November 11, 2013, and her passing inspired Laura and her husband to establish Give InKind to help normalize community support in times of tragedy. In our conversation, Laura shared the profound experience of leaving the hospital without her baby and how she honors Layla's life today. Her insights on grief and the importance of connection are both powerful and inspiring. This important conversation is part of our series for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month for October - listen here!
