Mother's Day: Surviving the Day with Grace and Self Compassion


Listen Later

There's no way around it: Mother's Day is complicated for most people, especially while on the fertility journey. Truly, most people approach this day with trepidation and dread, however this robs us of our power.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

  • Why Mother's Day is so painful
  • My Top 10 strategies to make Mother's Day more tolerable
  • How to hold the tension of unrealized dreams and still acknowledge progress 
  • A few stories of hope since last Mother's Day

The longer I live, the more I understand that if something has nuance, complexity and paradox, it's probably getting me closer to the truth. This episode is no exception. Let the wisdom here guide you as you approach Mother's Day (let's be honest--we know it's not just the day itself, but also the anticipation of the day), and let's take back our power together.
