Listen Later

#077 In today’s episode, I’m talking with Kristyn Hodgdon, twin-mama, who navigated her own journey through infertility treatments and now supports thousands of other women in her community, The Fertility Tribe. We’re talking about what Kristyn wishes more moms knew before they started their infertility journey, how to handle the financial and insurance side of fertility treatments, and why Kristyn decided to quit a job she loved to support more women as they seek to grow their own families when it doesn’t go according to plan. 

(04:45) What Kristyn wrote about in her first blog post of her infertility journey 

(08:06) What it was like to balance the mental weight of fertility treatments and work and marriage 

(25:09) What Kristyn wishes women who haven’t experienced infertility knew 

(30:42) What Kristyn’s financial situation was like as they entered parenthood 

(38:19) Encouragement if you are facing secondary infertility 

(51:21) Chelsea’s Top Takeaways
