Rest can be difficult

Rest can feel downright rebellious when you’re trying to conceive. With so much pressure to research, optimize, schedule, test, and “do everything right,” taking a break may seem impossible—or even irresponsible.In this gentle Sunday episode of *The Daily Try*, Lara explores why rest matters during your fertility journey. You’ll be reminded that you are more than someone trying to get pregnant, and that giving yourself permission to pause isn’t giving up—it’s an essential part of caring for your whole self.Whether it’s reading, meeting a friend, going for a walk, watching something funny, or simply doing nothing, discover how small moments of downtime can help restore your energy, quiet your mind, and reconnect you with the person you are beyond fertility treatment.Today’s invitation is simple: do one restful thing without guilt—not because it guarantees an outcome, but because you deserve moments that aren’t only about trying. Expect encouragement, compassion, and a gentle reminder that rest is part of the journey too.For more support, check out my ⁠Monthly Fertility Snail Mail letter subscription ⁠
