Welcome back to Not Just Moms! In this episode, we're getting real about what happens when life feels heavy and uncertain. As women and as moms, we’re often told to "just get over it" when we face a major setback, from returning to work after childbirth to navigating the pain of miscarriage and infertility. But what happens when you can't just move on? In this raw and honest conversation, I share my personal journey from feeling a deep hopelessness to living with a profound sense of gratitude. I open up about my experience with secondary infertility, carrying the shame of multiple miscarriages, and the immense pressure to hide my grief.
