    Journey of Fertility Struggles (National Infertility Awareness Week)

    In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW), this episode is being released early to spotlight a deeply personal journey through infertility. I share my own story—the struggles, unexpected detours, and emotional challenges that shaped my path. More importantly, I reflect on how my perspective shifted over time: learning to place my hope and faith in God rather than in the outcome or the process itself. This episode is both a testimony and an encouragement to anyone navigating fertility challenges, offering a message of hope, resilience, and spiritual growth. I also highlight meaningful resources that supported me along the way, including Caroline Harries (Founder of Moms in the Making), Porshea Wilkins (Founder of Supernatural Pregnancy Summit), and Becky Morales (Director of Hope Conferences through Real Options). Recommended readings include You’re Not Infertile, You’re Just Not in Timing and Build My Kingdom Through Your Barrenness and I Will Bless You by Porshea Wilkins.
