    3: A Grown Woman's Battle in a Little Girl's Body: Part 3 What Broke Me, Built Me

    In this deeply personal episode of Suddenly Infertile, I open up about the experiences that shaped me. From my college years to my first marriage, divorce, and the devastating loss of my father, this episode traces the emotional groundwork that made my diagnosis feel like both a breaking point and a revelation. This is a story about growing up too fast in a body that couldn’t keep up. About grief layered on grief. About trying to be strong while quietly unraveling. And about realizing that infertility doesn’t begin at a diagnosis—it often shows up after years of survival, loss, and unanswered prayers. We also spill some necessary tea: infertility discrimination is illegal. Just like pregnancy, infertility is protected under federal law, and employees undergoing fertility treatment have rights to reasonable accommodations at work. If you believe you are experiencing infertility discrimination, you can learn more and file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC): 🔗 Learn more: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/pregnancy-discrimination-and-related-issues🔗 File a claim: https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/charge.cfm If you’ve ever felt like a grown woman trapped in a little girl’s body…If you’ve ever grieved a life you thought you’d have…If you’ve ever wondered how much one heart can hold… This episode is for you. ✨ Follow the journey on Instagram: @suddenlyinfertile🎙️ Interested in being a guest on the show?
