Female Voices: Life & Loss

A podcast where women’s stories become pathways to healing.

Female Voices: Life & Loss is a powerful, heart-centered podcast created to give women a place to speak their truth—especially through grief, transition, trauma, and becoming who they are meant to be.

Hosted by Wayna Berry and Teresa Reiniger, this show features honest conversations with women who have lived through loss and chosen to rise. Whether that loss is a child, a parent, a relationship, identity, or a former life, every episode honors the complexity of grief and the courage it takes to keep going.

This isn’t a podcast about “getting over it.”
It’s about living through it—together.

Here, stories aren’t rushed.
Tears are welcome.
And healing is allowed to be messy, sacred, and real.

Female Voices: Life & Loss exists to:

• Break the silence around grief and emotional pain
• Normalize the full range of women’s lived experiences
• Create space for healing through storytelling
• Help listeners feel less alone in their hardest seasons

We believe that when women tell the truth about their lives, something powerful happens:
Shame loosens.
Hope returns.
And healing begins.

Wayna Berry is a licensed therapist, coach, speaker, and grief-informed advocate who has built her life and career around helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered. After experiencing deep personal loss, including the death of her son, Wayna became committed to creating spaces where women can process pain, rebuild their identities, and move forward with compassion and strength.

Her work blends clinical insight with lived experience—bringing warmth, honesty, and depth to every conversation.

Wayna believes healing isn’t about being “fixed.”
It’s about being held.

Teresa Reiniger is a passionate advocate for women, families, and healing after loss. With her own journey through grief and caregiving, Teresa brings empathy, intuition, and emotional presence to the podcast.

Her gift is listening deeply, asking the questions that matter, and holding space for stories that deserve to be heard.

Together, Teresa and Wayna create a balance of heart and wisdom—allowing guests to share not just what they lost, but who they are becoming.

Wayna and Teresa didn’t meet by accident—they met through grief.

Both women were navigating profound personal loss and were part of a shared community of bereaved parents and healing spaces. In a room full of people carrying unspeakable pain, they recognized something familiar in each other: honesty, strength, and a deep desire to make meaning out of loss.

Their conversations quickly moved beyond surface-level small talk. They talked about motherhood. About grief. About the loneliness that follows tragedy. About how women are often expected to be strong while quietly falling apart.

Over time, a friendship formed—one rooted in understanding, laughter, tears, and the shared belief that women’s stories deserve a platform.

The idea for Female Voices: Life & Loss grew from those conversations.

What if the stories they were hearing in grief groups, hospital rooms, and quiet late-night phone calls could reach other women who felt alone?
What if pain could become purpose?
What if storytelling could become healing?

This podcast is their answer.

Each episode features:

• Women sharing their real stories of loss and resilience
• Conversations about grief, motherhood, identity, and healing
• Expert insight mixed with lived experience
• Moments of honesty, hope, and heart

Some episodes will make you cry.
Some will make you feel understood.
All will remind you that you are not alone.

If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost painfully, or wondered who you are now…
Female Voices: Life & Loss was created for you.

Your story matters.

Your grief is valid.

And your healing is possible.

If you’d like, I can also create:
• A shorter homepage version
• A “Why We Started This Podcast” section
• Or a version optimized for podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts or Spotify 🎧

The conversation doesn’t end when the episode does.

Every woman carries a story worth telling.

• Health challenges or caregiving journeys
• Identity shifts, reinvention, and personal growth
• Trauma, healing, faith, and resilience

Your story may be the one another woman needs to hear.
