Infertility Feelings

Infertility can make us doubt our worth. Let's talk about it. 

In this special episode we get to meet Krista and Kelly, future process group leaders and program alumni at Uniquely Knitted. We talk about their unique connection to Uniquely Knitted and how struggling with worthiness can affect your mental health during infertility.

Are we worthy to grieve with the rest of the infertility community?
Are we worthy to be friends with our friends who have kids?
Are we worthy to take up space in our families?
Are we worthy of our own traditions?
Are our losses worthy of grief and sadness?

Worth is all of over infertility and it's complicated. Jesse, Krista, and Kelly are here to put words to it!
