January, you’re much better with warm weather!

Just because it’s winter and trees look like weird sticks doesn’t mean something grand isn’t happening below the surface. There’s purpose even when it doesn’t look like it. Winter is necessary for growth and boy am I feeling that this year. Anyone else?

Oh and I have some exciting things on the horizon I can’t WAIT to share with y’all!

Hint: words, flowers, Jesus, tears.

This is our fourth holiday season waiting for a baby.  
 
That’s what advent is about in the Christian faith is waiting for the baby aka Jesus to come.  
 
I’m having to align my heart with God, His promises and deep love for me instead of seeing the heartbreaking reality of another year ending with no expansion of our family.  
 
I don’t share this to get pity or to wallow in the depths. We’ve come a long way this year in healing and specifically the last couple months with an acceptance of where we are in the journey. 
 
I write all this to say, if you’re waiting for a baby, a partner, a job, reconciliation with someone, or just for God to show up, I hope you remember that God sees you today in whatever you’re going through too.  
 
I know the holidays are riddled with expectation, grief, excitement and longing. So, let these weeks of advent leading up to Christmas Day be filled with hopeful expectation!

Oh yea I started painting my feelings 🙃 tada!

Well helloooooo honey!!! K so just act like you’re sitting with me and let’s catch up real quick! I feel like I have grown leaps and bounds in this last season. It’s been an overhaul on my mind, body and spirit. Deep soul work is HARD but thankful for space to cultivate the healing. I’m holding some things close to me because I’m still in the messy process BUT I see beautiful growth happening and woooo hooo it’s goodddd.

I know this has been a platform for fertility conversations so I will share that my silence has been in part because of this. Infertility is hard and the toll it takes mentally, emotionally and physically are difficult to describe. Almost 3.5 years in and we still don’t have a second baby to celebrate. I’m holding space for the hope of a miracle and also the reality that this might be our family size forever. Practicing gratitude and allowing myself to grieve has been HUGE for me.

So, I am here to encourage whoever might feel stuck or even exhausted in their healing journey. It’s worth it to dig in and make sense of your story. Yell, snotty nose cry, laugh, and invite others into it. Not only is sorting out your story significant for you but it can also impact others too! So, keep on keeping on! You’re not alone!

It’s . Sad that we even have to recognize this week but here we are.  
 
1/8 is a huge chunk of us slugging it out in 2 week intervals. I have to remind myself that no two fertility journeys are the same and my choices aren’t worse or better than someone else’s. I have to honor my story and you should too!  
 
If you’re in this journey too, send me a message so I can pray for you or even just to send you a heart emoji to help you feel less alone.  
 
Chances are if you’re reading this but don’t struggle with fertility you know someone who does.  
 
A couple ideas for connection… 
 
let them know you are with them, which can simply be an encouraging text just saying you’re thinking about them.  
 
ask if they want to talk about it or if they’d prefer to wait and talk about it when they’re ready. Sometimes the needs change and that’s just part of it.  
 
Thanks for reading my PSA! I have so many more words but will save those for another time!

We went on a date to a rage room and it was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life.

We didn’t speak for 30 minutes but we put on music, screamed, wept and held each other in between smashes.

It was very vulnerable to have someone watch my inhibited emotions on display but it also felt good to be seen in my anger (which is actually the emotion that hides sadness).

Friend, here’s your sign to let loose and quit feeling like you have to hold it all together!

I’m in the thick of it and have yet to read a book or podcast about the reality of it. Most of these things end with a resolution or charge of a new way to think. I doubt publishing firms want the raw footage of it.

Hey, infertility I’m talking to you.

Here I am, years of trying every remedy under the sun (including fertility treatments) without another baby in my arms. I’ve bought more pregnancy tests than I can count and don’t even get me started on ovulation strip purchases.

I’ve prayed for 10 friends to get their miracles and celebrated their milestones simultaneously holding my grief and their joy.

I’ve begged, bargained and been on my face praying for our second baby.

Infertility is messy and we are not alone 1/8 of couples are in it with us. You may be holding your miracles and still feel the ache of the journey you were on. It’s heavy and I’m sad so many of us are in this. It’s such an intimate thing we are holding in silence.

So, If you’re walking this road too, I’m so sorry this is your story. I see you and want to virtually hug you. You’re not alone and don’t have to suffer in silence.

Luckily, I do have a great therapist and friend support, which I am grateful for as I trudge ahead.

Send me a DM, text or call if you’re needing some love! I’m working on developing something especially for us in this journey so stay tuned.

I will not stay silent! Xoxo

Hiiii!!!⁣
⁣
Coming back to IG after a hiatus feels intimidating and it shouldn’t because this is simply a space I want to come and process life together but I sense there are expectations on this platform and I can’t keep up. ⁣
⁣
I’m tired of figuring out how to make it all aesthetically cute and fit into the algorithm so I’m just going to show up!⁣
⁣
So, hi! I wish I could hand you this new tea I found at Sprouts and hear about your week so far. I want to hear how you’re REALLY doing because these tiny squares are normally just gussied up snap shots and I can’t tell if you’re actually good?⁣
⁣
Yea, sounds like it’s been a rough go of it so here is some word sunshine…⁣
⁣
God designed you and was like “yep, she should be alive in this very year, decade no, century, millennia. I don’t need her in 945 AD traipsing around a village. But I do need her in 2022!”⁣
⁣
It’s ok if you feel blobby and hot messy most days but remember that’s a feeling and not WHO you are. You’re actually a magnificent person who happens to feel blah and that’s totally normal right now. ⁣
⁣
You matter significantly and your life is meaningful and beautiful. Yep, even that part you’re trying to hide. You’re worthy and bold and vibrant. Don’t let this world or these squares tell you a different story. ⁣
⁣
Finally…⁣
⁣
I don’t know who needs to hear this either but yea you should eat that chocolate peanut butter cup you just found in your pantry!

Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas and happy holidays!!

Hiya! I’ve debated whether to get on here and share more of our story or just hermit away and so far I’ve been hermit-ing away since May.

But alas, I’m here because I crave to connect with people’s stories and I KNOW I’m not alone in this journey. So, let me just name it…

INFERTILITY.

This picture is from an IUI round that ultimately failed. Oof.

I know a lot of friends are on this journey with me and it just massively sucks. Are you there too?

Gosh, I hate that there’s a lot of shame and stigma wrapped up in this journey. It’s vulnerable and messy to talk about so no one does and I don’t like that!!!!

So, here I am talking about it: we’ve been trying for 27 months. We’ve been doing all the things to increase fertility naturally, seeing fertility specialists both western and eastern, pumping hormones into my system, getting poked and prodded and still no baby.

I don’t want to sit in the roaring silence alone and I bet you don’t either.

So…

Reach out to me or your best friend (yeah, she might have 3 kids but she is your best friend and wants to know). Talk about it with your partner (they’re hurting with you and are on your team). Make space for yourself and honor this rough process.

You’re seen. You’re not alone. Let’s do this together.

Helllooooo!! Today on my stories, I talk about my diagnosis of PCOS. I barely scratched the surface of it all but wanted to get some info out there today!  
 
Oooffff, it’s vulnerable to put myself out there and share personal things (especially about my body) but honestly just trying to create space for others to join me in honoring the journey.  
 
I think sometimes it’s easy to believe we are all alone or no one can relate to our story.  
 
I might not be walking you’re specific path but can certainly relate to life looking different then expected.  
 
So, maybe you need to hear that you’re doing a good job today! Ya know, some days are harder than others. Embrace the good days and honor the bad days because they’re teaching you something too!
