Ep 9: The Phone Call

from Smart Chaos Hosted by Ashli Smart

Episode 9: The Phone Call The Phone Call is the moment everything changed. In this episode of Smart Chaos, I share the phone call that marked the turning point in my IVF journey and my path to becoming a mother. It’s a story about waiting, uncertainty, grief, hope, and the quiet power of receiving life-altering news when you’re least prepared for it. This episode reflects on infertility, IVF emotions, faith, surrender, and what it means to hold joy and fear at the same time. I talk about the emotional weight of the call, how it landed in my body, and why moments like this reshape who we become long before anything else changes. If you’ve experienced infertility, IVF, pregnancy after loss, or a season where everything hinged on one moment, this episode will meet you there.
