  • 33 | How to Navigate Conversations during the Holidays when No One Knows the Difficulty of Your Conceiving Journey

    In this episode, we discuss how we can apply God's word to navigating difficult conversations with friends or family that don't know you're currently TTC. They have the best intentions, but make comments or ask questions about when you will start having kids. Little do they know you've been trying and it's not always as easy as some think. 

    If you are dreading holiday parties or get togethers because of inevitable nosy comments or questions, this is a great episode to really equip you with how to navigate those conversations while also encouraging you with a fresh perspective of God's calling on us as his followers.

  • 26 | Is GodAll-Loving if He allows you to Suffer through Infertility and TTC?

    In this episode, I dive into one of our responses that rises to the surface when we face a trauma: blame. Blame specifically toward God for allowing us to suffer through Infertility/TTC. We tackle a very difficult question that I believe you might be wrestling with even if it's more subconscious: Can God allow suffering AND be all-loving??

     

    John 9 - Jesus heals a man born blind and we can see 3 key elements that help us find peace with this difficult wrestling on a spiritual and emotional level.

    *TRIGGER WARNING* I do share our news that we are expecting baby #2 in this episode. The purpose of this episode is two-fold: 

    1. Remind us that God's timing is truly everything. No protocol, doctor or approach is going to be THE solution. It's God's intentional timing that directs life <3 

    2. Share what we did do differently between TTC Highland and now this baby and why we did things differently. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. This is only me sharing what we chose and what has worked for us.
