Being called to birthwork while struggling in your own infertility journey with Jazman Allen | A voyage of spiritual grit, infertility, and healing an...

Liking the podcast so far and want to show it? Buy Me a Coffee! I would appreciate it more than you know. Jazman knew she was called to birthwork from the age of 5 years old but it wasn't until after moving halfway across the country and finishing her doctorate when she heard the Lord clearly hit her with the call to doula work. She was called out of the work she had trained 8 years for in mental health with moms and their children and into birthwork as a doula, fertility supporter, and lactation consultant.  When she decided to take that step of faith in the direction God was leading her, He has been working ever since!  But, can you imagine being called to this area of work and watching family after family grow while you haven't received the blessing of a child yourself?  Jazman was diagnosed with PCOS and then received supernatural healing and got her cycle back immediately while praying and fasting. She has been regular ever since. So why were they still not getting pregnant?  On a whim, she suggested her husband get tested. To their devastation he was diagnosed with azoospermia. Azoospermia is the absence of motile (and hence viable) sperm in the semen. In other words, he had zero sperm count. Despite the diagnosis, that wasn't the hardest part. It was the lack of talking about this issue that was internally agonizing. It wasn't until her husband finally broke down and became vulnerable that they were able to truly heal and see the beauty from the ashes.  Through ups and downs, trials and valleys, she has allowed God to heal her heart and no longer struggles with grief when she sees another baby being born, another shower invitation in the mail, or a baby announcement on social media. It is only through God's strength that she can do this work without breaking down.  Jazman's story is encouraging to anyone who is called to something they don't feel qualified for. You'll hear that in this episode as her story reminded me of my own and I share of coming out of my own valley just one year ago.  JAZMAN You can find Jazman on Facebook Follow her on IG Visit her website  Connect with Cassie  Follow me on IG Visit my website Download the FREE Resource An Exodus Birth Plan and Checklist Download the FREE resource The Counterbalance: How to Respond and not React  Purchase An Exodus Birth: Empowering Women to Homebirth through Education and the Word mini course Purchase Made Whole: Your Threshold to Healing Body | Soul | Spirit Purchase Finding Freedom: A Personal Exodus from Deception to Identity
