Torch Podcast - Ep 10 – Finding Joy After Losing A Child with Natalie Pizarro

How do you move forward in the world after experiencing the worst – losing a child? Natalie Pizarro shares her deeply personal and moving experience of losing her first daughter Sabrina who was just shy of turning two years old.

Finding joy after losing a child Natalie is very candid about the day that is forever burned in her memory, and how she found strength in creating a fulfilling life for herself and her husband in the wake of such a tragedy.

I’ve known Natalie since we were born, so this loss has been personal for me. We start the interview with us talking about a trip I took her on two months after the loss and how that trip allowed her to breathe a bit. We then get into detail of what Natalie did for herself to remain sane and not fall into a puddle of despair on most days. You’ll hear more about what gave her strength, hope, what she needed most from friends, and how her perspective on life has changed.

Sabrina and her second daughter, Anna Sofia, are both IVF babies; you can find more about Natalie’s IVF experience on her blog.

Check out episode 9, which is part one of this interview where Natalie explains the incredible research and results from Ketamine for depression, anxiety and other mental disorders. She is the Director of Marketing and Sales at the Ketamine Health Centers, and has experienced Ketamine personally and seen remarkable effects on patients.
