S1 E6 - Adopting Teddy w/ Rachel Lessing

Infertility and TTC can be stressful, hard and an all-consuming processes that can feel anything but joyful. Along my journey i've found that joy wasnt something easy to come by in the process, but something that I needed to be commited to inviting into the process. After years I learned to celebrate the smallest wins along the way and learned to reframe as much as I could to invite joy into the very hard journey. In this episode we talk about what that could look like and the importance of it. 

The Grimsleys story to their son is anything but linear. 14 years of fertilty treatmeants and waiting make this story one full of resilience, hope and faith! 

In this episode I invited a few friends to talk about what it's like to walk with those who are walking the road of infertility and loss. Joanna Morris, Kelly Magnino and the familiar Rachel Lessing join me in discussing the tricky road of supporting and maintaining friendship through a time that makes relationship not the easiest to navigate.

The holidays can be such a mixed bag when youre struggling to grow your family. In a season that is so based around the idea of family sometimes it can trigger us and be a painful season to walk. This episode hopes to give some simple tools to ground and care for ourselves through this holiday season. 

I invite you to listen to a special conversation with my friend Rachel Lessing about their journey through infertility and adoption and how their path led them to their amazing son Teddy. This is a story of beauty, hope and the powerful calling of motherhood.

Inviting you into a conversation with Kat and Austin Huskey about their infertility story, their road to their daughter and what they learned about their marriage along the way. 

Barb Hill is a brilliant Therapist and Author. In this episode, we talk about the subject of waiting and the tools to walk through waiting that maybe we didn't even know we had.  We also get to talk about Barb's book coming out in November which is a devotional companion to the process of waiting. Check out Seasons of Waiting by Barb Hill on November 8th!

In this episode we get the honor of hearing my friend Jordana Nicholson's story to motherhood. She not only has a powerful story of overcoming the odds but her story was the catalyst to my own IVF journey. I cant wait for you to hear it. 

A subject anyone walking the road of infertility can understand. Fear surrounds so much of this journey- but now that we know this, we have the power to overcome it. 

We are opening episode one with setting the tone. Setting my intention to be raw and vulnerable as we embark on discussing the topic of infertility and the journey to becoming a mother. Here we go.
