46: When Mother's Day Hurts | A Gentle Conversation About Infertility and the Yearn to Be a Mother

Messy Motherhood

Show Notes

Mother's Day is coming soon and as special as this holiday is, it also comes with a lot of emotions that can be so hard for so many people. For the sake of today's conversation, we focus mainly on the aspect of infertility and those who are struggling to conceive.

For the infertility community, Mother's Day is a day that feels really unfair. You feel like your locked out of a club that everyone else is invited too and with the constant reminders all around you, it just feels like a giant punch to the gut. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know that you're not alone and in this episode we're going to talk about it all.

We're going to talk about what makes Mother's Day so hard, why so many people find it so triggering, how you can take care of yourself in this time, and how you can support a friend or family member who might be struggling this year.

It's a very real and intentional conversation. It's not an easy thing to talk about, but it's one of those things that needs to be talked about so we're doing that here. Come hang out with me on the couch and let's dive in- it's time to get messy.

"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
