IVF Failed You  - The "So Now What?" Podcast

National Infertility Awareness Week


Listen Later

Hello, beautiful people! In this episode, we're diving into the unique experience of National Infertility Awareness Week for those who've been through fertility treatments but are living without children. Join me as I share the significance of raising awareness for infertility while recognizing the often overlooked journey of those who didn't leave treatment with the family they dreamed of.

We're also celebrating The Other's Day Brunch, an inclusive event I'm hosting in Chicago. It's a special space for anyone who feels sadness or loss around Mother's Day, whether due to infertility, loss, or other life circumstances. Catered by Lisa's Boutique Catering and supported by generous local businesses, this brunch is for anyone who could use a day of connection, healing, and community.

During this episode, I'll talk about:

  • The importance of sharing your story and finding your voice as a childless woman after infertility

  • Why National Infertility Awareness Week can feel isolating for those living childless-not-by-choice

  • How we can challenge stigmas, reclaim our stories, and inspire others who are on similar paths

I'll also encourage you to start writing your story, even if just for yourself. Imagine being the hero of your infertility story, a story that could inspire hope and courage for another woman going through the same struggles.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The Other's Day Brunch: Join me for this special event to honor anyone feeling grief around Mother's Day. RSVP required!

  2. National Infertility Awareness Week: This week highlights infertility, but for those of us who live childless after infertility, there's still a need for representation.

  3. Sharing Your Story: Writing your story, even privately, can be a powerful step. Your journey deserves to be heard, and it could be the lifeline someone else is searching for.

If you'd like support starting your story or need help finding clarity, let's connect. Book a discovery call with me, and let's begin shaping the next chapter together.
