    Why it's So Hard to Make People Aware of Infertility

    1 in 6 people struggle to get pregnant. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Infertility is part of life for millions of people around the world. The chances are that most people know someone struggling to get pregnant.  So that means the world knows a lot about infertility and is ready to care for people struggling, right?! Wrong! It's so hard to make people aware of infertility.  This episode is all about that. Jesse and Doug take a moment during National Infertility Awareness Week to think about why it's so hard to raise awareness.  This is a great episode to think about the reasons why infertility is hard to talk about. This episode is a great episode to send to people to explain the struggles of talking about infertility.  Help us change how the world sees infertility! 1 in 6 people will face infertility, and the world will look away. Together, we're changing that not just for them, but for how all of us talk about grief, loss, and what it means to build a family.

    Struggling to Make Sense of Infertility

    How are we supposed to make sense of infertility? No, literally how?! Infertility, for many people, just doesn't fit with the way they view the world. Struggling to make sense of it all becomes this overwhelming, anxiety-provoking thing. Will there ever be a meaning to all this? Will we ever look back and see why this happened to us?! Was there no meaning to this? What does that mean about life?! The existential crisis of infertility is real, and this episode is all about that.  Jesse and Doug dig into the growth work at Uniquely Knitted and look for a way to process why this doesn't make sense. If you have ever struggled to make sense of your infertility, then this episode is for you.  So, pretty much, it's for everyone who has ever struggled with infertility! Help Make This Podcast Happen!

    Infertility and Failure

    Infertility can feel like it's full of fails. This test failed, this cycle failed. All the disappointment and fails can start to make you feel like YOU are a failure.  It's not true, you are not a failure. But gosh, it can feel that way sometimes.  This episode is all about these feelings. Why can we feel like failures during infertility. What do you do with those feelings? How can you deal with the feelings of failure.  Help Make This Podcast Happen! We invite you to join the Uniquely Committed and help make this podcast happen.

    Infertility and Blame

    During infertility, we can often blame ourselves for everything. This episode is about what that feels like, and WHY we do that! Blame shows up when we’re desperately trying to make sense of the senseless. It can feel protective, even logical, but it slowly chips away at our sense of worth and hope.  In this episode, we explore how blame sneaks into our thinking, what it does to our bodies and relationships, and how we can gently move toward compassion instead of self-criticism. Jesse and Doug dive into the topic of blame. Blame is part of a larger story about control, vulnerability, and the longing for answers. Understanding it can transform how we see ourselves and how we move through infertility. Together we explore how blame forms, why it sticks, and what it means to slowly let go of it.
