Throwback: Why country music artist Raechel Whitchurch wrote a song about her miscarriage

About this episode

Raechel writes songs about things that matter. Her childhood was spent performing in her family band and instilled a connection to rural Australia. She spent most of her early years living in a caravan while travelling and performing, before establishing herself as one of Australia's most promising new country artists. Her debut album 'Finally Clear' debuted at #1 on ARIA Australian Country Charts, and her highly anticipated sophomore album, 'what a time to be alive' was released in 2024. I sat down with Raech to talk about motherhood, rural life, and importantly, why she wrote a song about her miscarriage. This is her story. Warning: this episode discusses preganancy loss.
