215. Witnessing Grief and Holding Faith with Chani Levertov

In this episode, Dr. Baron sits down with Chani Levertov, director of Fruitful , for a conversation about her own fertility journey and the unwavering faith that carried her through. Chani walks through her secondary infertility diagnosis after her second child, genetic testing embryos and cancelled transfers, and the C-section scar ectopic pregnancy that required emergency surgery. She speaks openly about grieving a healthy, wanted pregnancy she had to let go of to save her own life, and about doing it all quietly, behind the "mask" she wore while running Fruitful and co-directing Smile on Seniors through years of private pain. She opens up about what she calls "witnessing grief," the kind of support people may be afraid to give. If you're navigating your own story of faith, secondary infertility, or loss, this episode is for you.
