08. Faith & Fertility in TCM: Part 1 My Fertility Story

My Fertility Story: Miscarriage, Infertility & Trusting God in the Waiting Trying to conceive can be one of the most emotional, uncertain, and faith-stretching journeys a woman may walk through. In this deeply personal episode, I share my own fertility story, from being diagnosed with severe endometriosis before marriage, being told it may be difficult to conceive, walking through miscarriage and pregnancy loss, and learning what it meant to surrender control while still holding onto hope. We talk honestly about grief, fear, comparison, waiting, unanswered questions, pregnancy announcements, heartbreak, and learning to trust God in the unknown. If you are navigating infertility, miscarriage, loss, or the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive, I pray this episode reminds you that you are not alone. Friend, your story is still being written. In this episode, we cover: ✨ My personal fertility story ✨ Endometriosis and fertility concerns ✨ Miscarriage and grief ✨ Walking through loss while losing my dad ✨ Trusting God in the waiting ✨ Faith during infertility ✨ Surrender vs giving up ✨ Pregnancy announcements, comparison & heartbreak ✨ Advocating for yourself and getting second opinions ✨ Hope in uncertain seasons 📖 Scripture Mentioned Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Proverbs 3:5–6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”  💛 Next week in Part 2: We’ll talk about fertility through the lens of Chinese medicine, common fertility patterns, what your cycle may be telling you, and practical ways to support your body naturally while trying to conceive.
