Episode 1: Forty Lemons and Zero Filters

Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond the Loss with Forty Lemons! We’re Kim and Alex—two friends brought together by the kind of grief no one wants to talk about and a mutual refusal to stay silent about it.

In this episode, we’re sharing how we met, why we started Forty Lemons, and what this podcast is all about. It’s equal parts origin story, truth-telling, and a middle finger to the beige, filtered version of infertility and loss support. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one walking through this—this episode is your reminder that you’re not.

Let’s get into it.
