Never Alone Infertility

There are all kinds of boundaries you'll need to consider implementing when navigating infertility. It's more complicated than just smiling and nodding when you're asked, "When are you having kids?" at your next family gathering. We'll talk about how to identify your "safe people", what information you may want to keep to yourself, and the lessons we learned from sharing too much or too little- we each handled it entirely differently, so you'll get two very different perspectives :)

In this episode, we interview Kenzie Grizzle, a brave woman who shares her story on infertility and loss. We featured Kenzie's story in October, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, to shed light on this crucial topic. Kenzie shares how she and her husband struggled to get pregant, and once they did, it ended up in a traumatic loss. She talks about how she handled the heartbreak, felt supported, and, most importantly, reminds us grief never truly goes away. Loss isn't talked about enough, making the process more isolating. We hope hearing her story helps you feel less alone if loss is part of your story.

Infertility can be a complex and emotionally taxing journey, filled with thoughts and feelings that range from unfairness and doubt to exhaustion and heartache. You might be feeling a sense of disappointment, pain, and frustration due to all the challenges. In this week's episode, we will share how the emotional toll has affected us in hopes that you will feel seen and know that all your thoughts and emotions are valid.

This week we’ll discuss the five things we wish someone told us before walking into a fertility clinic, and some of them might surprise you. It’s a huge step to move forward with a consultation (spoiler alert: it can take months to even get a virtual call) but once you meet with a doctor, things can happen quickly and we’re here to share the inside scoop on what you can expect.

In this week's episode, you will learn how the infertility process works. It starts with hopeful attempts as you buy ovulation and pregnancy kits but then moves into blood draw after blood draw. While searching for answers and reaching out to doctors, you’ll also have unexpected comments from others on top of managing your emotions. The process is LONG, and we are here to help you. Listen in as we walk you through the step-by-step process. 

We're two friends who met during our own infertility journeys and have a heart for others walking through this difficult time. We're bringing our own experiences to the mic to encourage you, answer your questions, and most importantly, remind you that you're never alone.
