Repeat after me: My grief is valid. So many of us in our infertility journeys have a tendency to minimize our own grief - which makes our experience so much harder than it needs to be. Tune in to this week’s love note to learn how to stop minimizing your infertility grief. I hope it helps you invite more ease into your infertility journey ❤️

The emotional weight of grief can be especially heavy after miscarriage and pregnancy loss. I know from personal experience how some days it just hits you out of nowhere. So I dedicated this week’s love note to a series of affirmations that I hope will provide a sense of peace and comfort as you listen to them 💕

Some days it feels like there was life before infertility and life after. My first miscarriage was also one of those life markers with a distinct before and after feeling. The grief of that experience shook me, but it also created a deep transformation within me. And so to honor that moment in my infertility journey, we created a ritual that we do annually as a family. Tune in to hear what that looks like for me (and to take whatever resonates for yourself). And remember that, no matter how heavy the grief of this season may be, you’re so not alone 💕

So many of us go into our fertility treatments already deciding we’re the exception not the rule when it comes to IVF - and ultimately it creates grief and suffering around an outcome that hasn’t happened yet. Which is why in this week’s love note, I want to help you focus on staying present in your infertility journey by seeing yourself as the norm and not the exception. I also talk about what to do if you find yourself in an exceptional scenario shared from my own personal experience of being the statistical exception. I hope it reminds you to take things one step and a time and that no matter where you fall in the stats, that you’re so not alone 💕

How many times has a loved one said, “Let me know if you ever want to ________” or “Let me know if I can ________” and you haven’t taken them up on it? Listen, this is not to shame you for it. We’ve all been there, and if you’ll listen to this week’s love note, you’ll hear about one of many personal experiences with that 😅 One of the keys I’ve found to feeling more supported on our infertility journeys is ALLOWING ourselves to receive support and saying YES to these invitations/opportunities. Which is why in this week’s love note I’m sharing a recent personal experience with this and giving you a very important question to ask yourself along with a, hopefully simple and fun, challenge for you to do 😉 I can’t wait for you to listen!

One of my biggest fears on my infertility journey was “What if this is all for nothing?” What if I looked back on this season and we didn’t have a baby to show for it - then what? Today I want to give you permission to take back control of your infertility journey by finding a way to make this season meaningful, no matter the outcome of your fertility treatments. In this week’s love note, I share my journey with this and what it looked like for me. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest, but I hope it gets your brain thinking differently about what’s possible in this season of infertility and ultimately helps make your path to motherhood easier 🤍

One of the reasons I really wanted to become a mom was because I had this dream of leaving a legacy by having children. But then, when we started having trouble getting pregnant, I started wondering if this dream of parenthood would ever even happen for us, and it felt like my dream of leaving a legacy and making an impact on this world was also dying with it. This love note is what I ultimately came to learn about the fine line of wrapping our value up in motherhood and what gets to be possible for us when we detach the two. Tune in to hear how I found meaningful ways to leave a legacy without knowing how my infertility journey would end, and for a helpful journal prompt/exercise you can use to reconnect with your own unique value and purpose, independent of motherhood. And while there is so much value in motherhood and becoming a mom, I hope this week’s love note reminds you that your value as a human is so much more than that 💕

Are we allowed to laugh while talking about infertility? My answer is a resounding YES. I hope you do! One of the biggest lessons I learned from my own infertility journey, which involved multiple IVF cycles and miscarriages, was that joy and sadness can absolutely co-exist. Inspired by the fact that I spend a lot of time on client calls laughing with these humans, I wanted to create this week’s love note to give you permission to laugh your way and find the joy through infertility too. I hope it makes you smile and reminds you that however you’re feeling you’re so not alone 🤍

If you’ve ever felt anxious anticipating a loved one’s pregnancy announcement, you are so not alone! This is one of those things that doesn’t get talked about enough when it comes to infertility, so I wanted to shed light on and normalize this if it’s something you’ve been struggling with too. In this week’s love note, I share my own personal experience navigating this while going through IVF and give you a small journal prompt you can use so that you feel more confident navigating this tough conversations 💕

As we navigate the challenges of fertility treatments, it's common to feel restricted and guilty about doing things we once enjoyed, like sipping a cup of coffee or having a margarita. Which is why in this week's love note, we’re diving into the liberating concept of giving yourself permission to make choices that align with your personal preferences and well-being on your infertility journey, all while staying within your fertility doctor's recommendations. Discover how to navigate the complex emotions surrounding these decisions and how you can find peace in embracing what feels right for you. Join me as I share my own personal experience and offer questions to ponder, empowering you to create an infertility journey that doesn’t require you to put a full stop on the things that once brought you joy. Here’s to finding balance, joy, and self-compassion as we navigate this hard season of infertility 💕

Feeling unsupported on your infertility journey can be incredibly challenging, especially when those closest to you may not fully understand what you're going through. But here's what I’ve found to be true over and over again with both myself and my clients - the people in your life don’t fully need to understand what you’re going through in order for you to feel supported by them. In this week's love note, we explore a powerful mindset shift that empowers you to view your support system differently so that you can feel truly loved-on and supported by those closest to you, no matter their relationship with infertility.

Have you ever felt angry or frustrated when someone talks about the lessons or gifts of infertility? It's completely normal and okay to feel that way. The truth is, there is value in finding lessons in infertility, and it can be a cathartic way to heal. However, it's important to approach this process in a way and at a time that best serves you on your journey. In this week's love note, join me as I guide you through the 6 stages of grief. By understanding where you are in your healing and grieving process, you'll gain insight into what you need to move forward towards more peace, ease, and joy as you navigate this challenging season of infertility 💕

Navigating the grief of a miscarriage in our infertility journeys can be one of the hardest things we have to do - especially since there is nothing that can prepare you for the depth of grief and sadness that you feel as a result of this experience.
