Welcome back to The Rebel Maker Podcast. Today, I have Autumn Cohen as my guest. Autumn is the mother of two living daughters and a stillborn son born in March, 2020. Early 2023 she released a baby loss journal for parents like herself called In Memory Of You. And just in time for Christmas, she and her husband have written a children’s book for grief and loss called Eden and Ellie’s Christmas is Not the Same.

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
