On today’s fertility episode, I am joined by Marilyn Gomez. Marilyn is a gritty, empath and Latina,  who got her reiki certification to help her heal through trauma of infertility. She had her daughter in 2016, from her 3rd IVF transfer. In 2019, she attempted to expand her family with transferring the last 2 of her frozen embryos. That transfer failed so she closed her chapter of expanding her family to focus on healing and embracing and normalizing having one child, in a society that asks for one more. Marilyn is an advocate with Resolve and Mom Congress focusing on Infertility coverage and maternal mental health. She owns an online store Infertile Tees, statement tees for your infertility journey, to encourage women to talk about their story and feel less alone. She hosts a podcast: Mama Vida Podcast and interviews women and covers all topics related to womanhood, purpose, and life.

In this episode, Marilyn and I discuss: 

• Healing from the trauma of trying to conceive 

• Process of evaluating one’s path to parenthood 

• Maternal mental health 

• Race and infertility
