Out now · 14 Oct 2026
Nina Elisabeth Larsen, co-founder and CEO of Omaia, joins Dr. Ono Nseyo, OB/GYN and Host of Golden Hour, to talk about pregnancy after loss. After losing her daughter Nellie during childbirth, Nina became pregnant again and describes living a “dual life”: grieving one child while protecting another. They talk about birth trauma, feeling like “a number” in the healthcare system, and why care should be built around the whole person.
