we all have a story to tell and this is our story

we were married in 2010 and wanted to start a family right away. however, after several years of trying and no baby, we decided to talk to a specialist.

IN THE WAITING ROOM

our first few iui attempts were unsuccessful, so we moved onto ivf. we were blessed with one very good looking embryo, but after a failed second ivf cycle, i decided to speak to a new reproductive endocrinologist.


After four years of Fertility Treatments and struggles we were blessed with a baby girl

    Educational delays

I learned the skills of resilience throughout my family building journey and draw from those experiences as I navigate both parenting after infertility as well as the challenges I have encountered over the past twelve years.‍ ‍

I know that suffering is part of life.

I try to live in each season fully.

I've learned, over the last few years, that it's easier to lean into what I'm feeling than to run from it.

I wanted to create this community so you could learn that the tools of resilience

are accessible not just for your infertility journey, but for whatever the unexpected brings.
