    Dear Diary: Infertility Question and Answer Forum Part 2

    On today's episode, we explore part two of Whitney and Lindsey's LIVE Question and Answer Forum. Hard infertility questions answered in real conversation and experience.   What if the hardest part of the journey isn’t the shots, the hormone imbalances, the procedures, or the waiting? What if it’s believing you’re still worthy when the dream of motherhood feels out of reach? For years infertility whispered a lie we both believed all too well:  You’re not good enough. You’re not worthy.  Maybe you were never meant to be a mom.   Join us as we share how we fought back against that terrible lie and more! In this episode we are diving into: *Infertility  *IVF Shots  *Insurance Coverage  *Being your own advocate  *Doctor compatibility  *Knowing your emotional threshold  *Overcoming “not feeling worthy” to be a mom  *Spousal support and connection during infertility  Be sure to subscribe and follow along as we release new episodes every other week.

    Welcome to the Infertile Diaries!

    Welcome to The Infertile Diaries, a sacred place where vulnerable, real stories are shared through the journey of infertility. Created to be a safe and compassionate space, our hope is that you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone along the way. Join Whitney Henneman, author of “The Barren Cry”, and Lindsey Tomaszewski, founder of Everyone Deserves A Family, as we pour our hearts into supporting you. After walking through a combined eight years of infertility and more than fifteen years of ministry born from our own struggles, we understand the deep ache of waiting, hoping, and grieving the dream of motherhood. We see you because we were you. And we’re building the kind of space we desperately longed for during our own season of uncertainty and pain. Together, we will share stories through a faith-based lens as we navigate the beautiful, painful, and often complicated road surrounding motherhood and the longing for it. From infertility and miscarriage to child loss, adoption, surrogacy, and beyond, we will explore what it means to endure suffering with grace, hold onto hope, and encounter God in the midst of it all. This is more than a podcast. This is your place and these are your stories. A holy space of sorrow and joy, grief and grace, longing and redemption.  A place where heartbreak meets hope.
