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

The two week wait can feel like an emotional battlefield — every twinge, every symptom, every day dragging by with anxious questions. But what if these 14 days could become holy ground instead of anxiety ground?

In today’s episode, I share my own experience with the two week wait, biblical truth that brings lasting peace, and 5 practical tools you can use right now to calm your spiraling thoughts, anchor your heart in God’s character, and breathe again in the waiting.

Whether this is your first cycle or your fifteenth, God has purpose in these days. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through them. You can walk with peace, surrender, and hope that doesn’t disappoint.

✨ Plus, I’m sharing an exciting announcement about my brand-new mini course, Peace in the Wait — created just for women in the two week wait after ovulation, IUI, or IVF. If you’re longing for daily encouragement and structure to stay grounded in truth, this will bless you deeply.

📖 Scriptures mentioned: Isaiah 26:3, Psalm 131:2

Courtney walks listeners through four common TTC tensions—creating embryos (IVF), genetic screening/selection, donor eggs/sperm & surrogacy, and data-driven tracking—without handing out black-and-white verdicts. Instead, she anchors each topic in Scripture (Psalm 139; Job 31:15; Jeremiah 1:5; Proverbs 16:9; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31–32; Proverbs 3:5–6; Philippians 4:6–7) and offers heart-level reflection prompts to help couples discern before God. You’ll pause to journal, check your motives around control vs. stewardship, and hear a testimony of finding peace when science becomes a gift—not a god.

Ever feel like the whole world is moving forward without you?

Everyone’s announcing baby #2…

You’re not forgotten.

What if healing isn’t the same as getting pregnant? In this powerful episode, we unpack a truth many Christian women overlook during infertility: healing is not always the outcome we expect—but it’s always available. Courtney explores what the Bible actually says about healing, why we often chase results instead of Jesus, and how to let God meet you in your brokenness, not just your prayers for a baby. If you’re exhausted from hoping and still hurting, this episode will meet you where you are—with truth, compassion, and a path toward peace.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—praying, tracking, believing—but nothing is changing? Like you’re emotionally and spiritually frozen in place while the months pass and hope slowly fades?

In this episode, Courtney gets honest about the spiritual “stuckness” so many women feel while trying to conceive. She unpacks 3 hidden reasons you may feel stuck in your faith and your fertility journey—and gently reminds you that being stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken. It might mean God is inviting you into a deeper kind of healing.

What do you do when your prayers feel like they’re hitting the ceiling and silence seems to be God’s only response?

In this raw and faith-filled episode, Courtney unpacks the heavy weight of spiritual silence during the trying-to-conceive (TTC) journey. If you’ve ever asked, “Where are You, God?” or questioned whether He’s listening at all—this is for you.

You’ll explore biblical stories of silence, discover what God might be doing in the quiet, and walk away with 3 powerful ways to anchor your heart when heaven feels distant. Because silence doesn’t mean absence—sometimes, it’s the sacred space where God is preparing the most miraculous breakthroughs.

You’ll learn:

The truth about God’s character when He seems quiet

How to discern the difference between silence and abandonment

3 things you can do to keep your faith alive in the in-between

Whether you're in month 2 or year 7 of waiting, this episode will remind you: God may be silent, but He is never still.

In this powerful episode, Courtney sits down with Hannah, a client from The Waiting Well Framework, to share her raw and redemptive story of loss, healing, and surrender.

After walking through the heartbreak of miscarriage, Hannah found herself saying she trusted God—but still clinging tightly to her own timeline for motherhood. Inside the framework, she experienced a breakthrough: realizing that true peace doesn't come from having control... it comes from releasing it.

Listen in as Hannah vulnerably shares:

If you’ve ever struggled to let go of your timeline—or felt like trust and surrender were two different things—this episode will speak straight to your heart.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about what I would do differently if I could go back to the beginning of our fertility journey. With the wisdom I have now—and a much more holistic, faith-rooted perspective—I open up about how I would’ve prioritized healing my heart before chasing protocols, taken a more functional approach to my health, and leaned on God’s character instead of rushing ahead in fear.

If you’re in the middle of TTC confusion, feeling pressure to make the “next move,” or wondering what you might be missing—this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and peace. I’m not here to tell you what to do—I’m here to share what I’ve learned, what I wish I’d known, and how I’d walk the road differently if I were starting from day 1 today.

Have you ever cried out, “Why would God let this happen to me?” In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest faith questions of all time: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering?

Through the lens of Job’s story, we uncover a sobering but comforting truth: Satan doesn’t have free rein. He needs permission. Which means that even your deepest pain has passed through the hands of a sovereign, intentional God.

We’ll explore how to reconcile God’s goodness with our grief, why knowing His names helps us trust His plans, and how pride whispers, “You could do better,” when faith says, “He is still good.”

If you’re walking through loss, disappointment, or a waiting season and wondering where God is in the midst of it — this conversation will meet you there.

📖 Scripture highlights: Job 1–2, Isaiah 55:8–9, Romans 8:28

If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the outside looking in — watching others step into the motherhood role you long for — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re naming the ache to belong that so many women silently carry during their fertility journey. From the pain of not holding the title “mom” yet, to the emotional weight of feeling left out of the motherhood community, we unpack how God wired us for connection — and how our truest belonging is found in Him, not in our circumstances.

Courtney shares a raw personal story of uprooting her life from Maui to Texas and how it revealed deeper lessons about identity, grief, and grounding your worth beyond roles or recognition. Rooted in Scripture and full of practical encouragement, this episode offers a new way to see the season of waiting: not as punishment, but as an invitation to be anchored in God’s love.

Whether you’re feeling overlooked, left out, or just deeply weary, this episode is a reminder: You already belong — because you are His.
