Welcome to Season 2 of that Infertility Chic.

During this season, we will be joined by some of the amazing women, I've met in the Daughters of Hannah Support group.  Meeting some of these women has encouraged me and made me wish I had this support 10 plus years ago when I realized I was IN a journey. The theme is, "You Matter. Your Life Matters. Your Story Matters.

What I know is I am glad they exist now and I know the women in that group are blessed to have support.

In this episode, we explore the connections we can have with babies who are not yet born to us, or whom we have miscarried or lost.

I share the stories of my 2 miscarriages and what I learned from those babies about the journey of the soul, soul contracts, why they came into my life for such a short time, and why one of them is still hanging around, waiting to come in.

I also answer your questions about how to reach out to a baby you've lost or want to conceive.

Georgie opens up in this open, honest and raw interview about being 1 in 4. Listen to this no holds barred interview as she talks about the pain and heartbreak of losing 3 longed for babies.

The subject of miscarriage is still taboo, but yet talking about it can be healing and offer hope to others.

But Georgie started talking about it on Instagram, opening up about what she went through and people started messaging her as they were in the same situation.  Talking about it out loud was therapy.

* Veronica shares about past miscarriages and her experience, if that is triggering for you you are welcome to skip 6:55 - 15:39 minute mark of this episode.

Thrilled to introduce Veronica Garcia to you all.  Veronica does not only have an amazing voice that hits deep in your soul, she also is an incredible person whose story connects with your own. 

I don't normally have any indication of what each guest is going to share. This allows me to be present and see where God wants to lead the conversation.  Through Veronica's story, we hear about the loss that so many people silently walk through in miscarriage.  This discussion connected with my own story and I hope you can find the beauty of Jesus behind every tear and triumph.

Reflection Questions:

1. There are moments when we feel like life has been wasted on us. I encourage you to pray for direction, clarity, and guidance on how God is using your parable for so much more?

2.  Who is someone that is championing you in your life? Thank them for doing just that and for what it has meant to you. If you don't have that kind of person in your life, ask God to bring someone to mind or place somebody in your life this week.

In this episode, Taylor bravely shares how she is finding the adjustment to motherhood. She is vulnerable with her story and how the journey to motherhood wasn't as she had planned. Tricky to fall pregnant and experiencing miscarriage caused Taylor to cry out to God, and cement her faith in Him. She was desperate to be a mother, and when it wasn't happening as she planned, she had to choose whether she could follow Jesus and align her plans and hopes to his. . Now a mum, she sees clearly her need for Jesus and the sin thats in her heart. She shares how she is seeking to point her family to Jesus.

"Becoming a mum has really opened my eyes to how much sin there is in my heart and in my life and how much I really need Jesus in my life."

"My miscarriage meant I was also on the outer of this club that I so desperately wanted to be a part of"

"And all of a sudden I was face to face with something that I just couldn't control."

"I'd never really had to put my trusting God in something that was so important to me, I'm pretty much straight after that."

As we wrap up Miscarriage and Child Loss Remembrance Month, we wanted to Dig Deep into a topic that is typically taboo. 

This amazing Episode features Youtuber, Sasha Hali. We dig deep the emotions and the resilience of Sasha during this difficult time.

So many voices in the world of infertility say sacrifice more - your time, energy, relationships, budget, body, mind and joy - just get through this and then put your life back together after you get a baby. But is this really the healthiest approach?

Today we’re talking to Nicole Lange, a licensed acupuncturist, friend and ally of the fertility community, about her new online course, The Baby You Want. Nicole shares some strategies for not just getting through infertility and 'getting a baby,' but ways to get stronger and get the baby you really want - one with a healthy, balanced, thriving mom with an amazingly whole life.

Nicole and Elyse also discuss some of the cultural aspects of "infertility" that can be problematic and leave us feeling more isolated and stuck. You can also read about them in this blog post written by Nicole for Fruitful Fertility's blog: https://www.fruitfulfertility.org/blog/1833/its-time-for-a-fertility-culture-change/

Secondary infertility is a frustrating, confusing and lonely diagnosis. It's defined as the inability to become pregnant or to carry a pregnancy successfully after previous success in delivering a child.

Oftentimes people going through secondary infertility don’t feel at home in the TTC community (since you're already a parent). But they also don’t feel at home in the parenting community since there are a lot of bumps and questions around when they're having another kid.

Where do people dealing with secondary infertility fit in? How do you deal with feeling ungrateful or guilty? Today we’re talking about all things secondary infertility with Monica Caron of the IG handle @my_so_called_IVF. 

Infertility has a way of sticking around even when it’s technically “over.” What is it about infertility, IVF and the trauma rollercoaster of it all that seeps into pregnancy, parenting and your life even after the clinic visits and wanda dates stop? 

In this episode, Brad and Elyse catch up to reflect back on the moments and feelings that surprised them after they finally saw their first BFP.
