Show Notes
I'm just going to say it: pregnancy announcements are not a joke and there are a million reasons why.
In today's episode, we're unpacking the topic of using a fake pregnancy announcement as an April Fool's Day joke and how harmful that can be not only via social media, but also within your marriage or social group. I also take some time to empathize with the infertility community and brainstorm some ideas on how you can protect your heart on this day.
I know that a lot of times this joke can be made out of a lack of understanding, so let's talk about it! Let's talk about all of the reasons why this joke really doesn't land the way people expect it to and why people could actually be really triggered by seeing this joke pop up on their social media feed or in real life. The tone for this episode is not to shame those who have done this, but more so to create a sense of empathy and understanding!
I hope this episode blesses you and if you enjoy it, I encourage you to leave a rating and a review for the show or share it to your social media- thank you for being here!

"It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be special. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be memorable. It's not about everything being perfect. It's about everyone being together and making memories. Focus on being present, not perfect." - Stephanie Booe
