Recapping July 4th, some new updates on our fertility journey, and focusing on marriage and friendships.

We are all struggling with something, and dealing with challenges daily. I think we all secretly miss our lives in our younger adulthood when we still had backup plans or our parents to possibly bail us out or give us advice when we really needed them.

But as we struggle, we grow. As we overcome, we evolve. Over time, we are able to handle more and more because life isn't easy. Maintaining friendships is hard. Marriage isn't sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows ALL THE TIME! And guess what? That's okay!

Sometimes we ask ourselves, "Am I doing my best?" The same goes with our partners. Are we doing our best to support them? Can we choose to do better for them? Can we choose to respond better in situations to get the outcome that we are actually looking for?

Today, we dive a little deeper into supporting our partners and living in that high vibration by leading by example.

We don't have control on many things but we do have a handle on some. As I worked through all my trauma, the loss of yet another pregnancy, I stopped blaming my situation and started doing things and choosing the higher vibration. Choosing things that truly make me feel happier when I have completed them. Taking each small step to get back to feeling better about myself.

Sometimes, we talk plenty, but are we actually saying the right things? Today we dive a bit more into how using our voice to ask for what we need vs. the reaction can truly benefit our relationships.

Seeing the physical growth of something you are nurturing can be the most rewarding experience. However, the growth does not happen overnight. We must lean in, be patient, and enjoy the process.

Society has a way of making us feel ashamed about our grief. Many don't know how to respond to someone who is grieving. We are made to feel we should rush things along and "get back to normal", so everyone else around us can know how to act around us again.

Sharing more on my social platforms has really assisted me through my grieving process. Leading with my heart instead of my mind has shown me I truly can not control everything that happens to me. But, I can control how I respond to the world around me and what is happening to me.
