  • Realization

    This podcast has helped me better understand what I’ve been through mentally. Following a pregnancy loss at 22 weeks, I quickly jumped into infertility treatment, desperate for a way out of the anguish and self blame. After two IVF cycles and zero healthy embryos, the delayed pain came back to me. I am part of a support group but didn’t realize the profound change to my mind until I listened to this podcast. Your compassion, good spirit and analysis are very healing. Thank you!

  • Thank you

    There is almost no acknowledgment of infertility. This podcast acknowledges the pain and life changing experience of infertility. It’s a blessing for me to hear their thoughts and insights.

  • So relatable!

    In a world where you and your spouse are walking the journey together alone, this is so relatable! So refreshing. The church around us cares but no one understands it completely because no one else has been where we are presently. Somedays you just need to hear it from someone who’s walking the journey too.
