Today I am sharing a story that is profoundly different from the usual entrepreneurial discussions we have here. This one is deeply personal.

Before going further, I want to extend a trigger warning. Throughout this post and the subsequent one, I'll be referencing pregnancy loss, the journey of IVF, mentions of suicide (related to someone else in my life), and an extensive conception journey.

The past two and a half years have been a rollercoaster of emotions, experiences, and realisations guided by my journey towards pregnancy. I've wanted to share this story with you for so long. And now, finally, we're here. We’re pregnant.

My journey, though marked with some of the most challenging moments of my life, has taught me so much about resilience, determination, and hope. It's been a process of healing generational trauma, physical hardships, spiritual discoveries, and emotional extremes. I feel an intense vulnerability unveiling this story, but it feels like the right time.

You don't have to be on an extended conception journey or an IVF route for this story to resonate with you. If you're a person facing a hard time, I hope my story offers you strength, insight, and courage. Especially, if you're running your own business, I hope my story inspires you, just as it has inspired me, despite the hardships.
