S2E7: Scott & Joanne Beedie - Loss, Courage and Helping Little Hands
TRIGGER WARNING
Today’s conversation contains discussions of infant loss.
In this very special episode, we’ll be joined by Joanne and Scott Beedie— two truly remarkable parents who open up and share the deeply personal story of losing one of their twins to Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.
This conversation is incredibly raw and emotional, as we explore what it means to balance hope and heartbreak, and how they navigated the NICU journey together while staying connected as a couple. We’ll also talk about the vital role of social worker support and the strength that comes from leaning on each other through every challenge.
But this story isn’t only about loss — it’s also about love, resilience, and purpose. Out of their experience, Joanne and Scott went on to create an incredible charity in Western Australia called Helping Little Hands, dedicated to supporting NICU families across the state.
You’ll hear about the amazing work this organisation is doing for families just like theirs — and stick around till the end, because we have a very special guest joining us to round out this heartfelt episode.
So take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s begin.
