What do you do when the life you imagined quietly falls apart?
In this deeply honest conversation, Lindsay Lawler shares the story behind the stage lights — the years of infertility, the devastating phone call that changed everything, the loneliness she carried in silence, and the trauma that cracked her world wide open.
At 37, Lindsay was told she had “the eggs of a 54-year-old.” What followed were fertility treatments, failed attempts, two adoptions that fell through, and a season of grief that tested her marriage, her faith, and her sense of identity. At the same time, she was navigating profound personal trauma and a spiritual awakening that shifted everything.
But this story does not end in despair.It ends in surrender.
It ends in healing.
It ends in adoption.
It ends with a daughter.Together, Theresa and Lindsay talk about:
- Infertility and the quiet shame women carry
- The strain infertility can place on a marriage
- Trauma, secrecy, and what happens when we finally “say the thing”
- Spiritual awakening in the middle of heartbreak
- Why adoption shouldn’t be considered a last resort
- Learning to metabolize pain instead of being consumed by it
This episode is for the woman who is waiting.
For the one crying on the kitchen floor.
For the one carrying something alone.
When we share our pain, it lessens its power. And sometimes the very thing that breaks us open becomes the doorway to the most beautiful chapter of our lives.
