Everything Has Changed Podcast

**TRIGGER WARNING** Today's episode covers infertility and pregnancy loss. Please proceed with caution if these topics are triggering for you.

In this episode of the Everything Has Changed podcast, P & Shaun wax poetic about infertility, and the emotional and physical toll of miscarriage. The discussion tackles everything folks aren't talking about...medical anxiety, the REAL thyroid numbers, the impact of fibroids on pregnancy and advocating for yourself in medical settings...not to mention the importance of finding supportive healthcare providers!

P & Shaun are not doctors, but this episode is still packed full of valuable tidbits that will hopefully help anyone who has gone through similar issues feel seen and heard.

TFW you need to have an honest conversation with God.
