Many of us have great hopes of becoming a parent one day, often with the hopes of having our own biological child. But for about 20% of us, this journey is difficult, or even impossible. Infertility can be unimaginably painful for both partners and their families. The journey of infertility is complex, fraught with hope and disappointment, bravery and fear, trust and isolation. We are here to offer support to those who may be facing infertility, as well as those witnessing the journey of someone else. 

Join us as we welcome another guest, Dr. Randi Smith, to discuss infertility. Dr. Smith is a Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. She specializes in supporting women and couples facing the deep challenges of infertility, assisting them in navigating the emotional, mental, and physical aspects of this excruciating journey.  She guides us through the ins and outs of infertility and shares her wisdom in supporting those facing this journey.
