The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility

Thinking about when or if we're ready to TTC for baby #2 has been so heavy on my heart. Several friends have gotten pregnant recently which makes the conversation more frequent. 

I honestly don't know that I'm ready for TTC #2. I've noticed just in discussing TTC, I have wounds very much still open, raw from our TTC journey for Highland. So in this episode, I discuss where I'm at with this conversation, how I'm navigating my wounds while also choosing to do things different the second time around TTC.

It hit me during my quiet time this week how we should be praying while TTC. I can't believe I haven't seen it until now, but it's just such a small, yet POWERFUL shift that truly will change everything in your waiting season.

This episode is fire - especially the ending! I love how God's Word is truly sharper than any two-edged sword - so good for challenging, changing and healing us!

Navigating infertility for nearly 7 years did a number on my relationship with God at times. There were seasons where I had no interest in opening up my Bible even though it was the best thing for me to do. 

My husband taught me a simple method to start re-building communication with God and opening up the door to receiving healing, and peace despite my circumstances. On this week's episode, I break that method down for you so you can start having break throughs with God & walking in His Peace today BEFORE He ever answers your prayers :)

Should you go to the baby shower while navigating infertility or TTC?

During my 7 year wait and journey through infertility, pretty much every single friend of mine eventually got pregnant 1-3+ times in the amount of time that I was still waiting. 

It was so painful. 

So how do you show up & love your friends when your pain feels so overwhelming and impossible to celebrate them?

Last weekend I was triggered by a message I received giving me advice on what I could do to conceive. Have you ever been on the receiving end of that? 

During my 7 year wait and journey through infertility, I received a lot of unsolicited advice... my favorite: "just relax and it'll happen" IYKYK 

Unwanted advice, usually from those who have never struggled to conceive, can be triggering. When we are triggered, our frustration and anger can grow quickly while offense takes over our hearts. 

So what do we do?

God's word calls us to tender-heartedness, and kindness towards others. Our pain, our waiting season does not entitle us to an offended heart and the reactions of one.

In this episode, I discuss what to do when you're triggered. How can you respond? What does God's Word say about this? And 3 ways to cultivate an unoffendable heart toward others so we can be slow and tender-hearted even to those with unwanted advice.

I wrestled for the longest time on what treatment options we should do and what was God's take on these options. I didn't want to do the wrong thing and had anxiety about potentially making a decision on our fertility journey that did not honor God & what the Bible says about life. 

Have you been there? Maybe you're there now?

In this episode, I discuss the topic of navigating your fertility treatment options and give you a breakdown of 4 steps that can act as a litmus test to help you understand what Scripture says about our options.

Did 2022 end with you not where you hoped to be? Are you starting 2023 white-knuckling your hopes & dreams for the 12 months that lie in front of us?

I went through 6 years of ending one year not pregnant, and starting another year wondering if it was going to happen THAT year. It was emotionally difficult to see so many celebrate their pregnancies and the year they just had, when I felt so stuck in my waiting season.

In this episode, I break down exactly how we can control who we become in this New Year of 2023.
