I once saw a show where the speaker was answering a "how to" question, and her response was unforgettable:  "You can't google wisdom."  How many times have you googled things on your fertility journey?  I know I was obsessed with it while trying to conceive.  I didn't know infertility would make me wiser, but it did.

In today's episode, I'll be sharing another excerpt from my upcoming book Transcending Infertility (www.transcendinginfertilitybook.com) on the topic of compassion.  This is especially good for the first episode of the new year, as we reflect on all we did (or - eh-hem - didn't do) in the past year.  We tend to get super judgmental, don't we?  Ugh!

Here is what is covered in today's episode:

-A reading from the book chapter called Stop Shoulding on Yourself
-A riff on compassion and how it is incredibly helpful for your fertility journey.
-A super embarrassing story that happened recently (I had to show myself HUGE compassion)
