Getting pregnant isn’t always simple. And for 1 in 6 women, infertility is part of the story — and it’s messy, isolating, expensive, and absolutely life-changing.
In this first episode of our April Infertility Series, I sat down with three BADASS women — Gwenna, Cassi, and Megan — who know this journey all too well.
Gwenna spent 12 years trying it all — 8 rounds of IVF and endless shots to no avail. But in the end, two incredible surrogates helped bring her two boys into the world.
Cassi never expected to struggle after having her first son naturally. But four and a half years of trying, and many miscarriages later, she found herself in a world of acupuncture, functional medicine, and asking questions nobody could seem to answer.
And Megan — mama to 7-year-old Miracle Maren — opens up about miscarrying alone at home, failed IVF, and the ache of wanting a sibling for her daughter.
This episode is raw. It’s emotional. It’s full of heart, and hard-earned wisdom from women who’ve lived it.
Infertility isn’t the whole story — but it sure as hell shapes you. Make sure to share this episode with someone who could benefit from hearing these stories. This community is here to support you no matter if you are in the thick of it or experienced infertility years ago.
Stay tuned for the next episode dropping Wednesday, April 16th at 8am with Jess, Jessie and Allie. And until next time...Keep Moving, baby.
