Finding Clarity in Your Fertility Journey PT 2: Key Reflection Points To Guide Your Path to Motherhood (EP 21)

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, we talk about the emotional toll of infertility and revisit the key questions from the previous episode on finding clarity through infertility. The episode highlights the importance of deep self-reflection on what one truly desires, whether it's experiencing pregnancy, having a family, or defining personal dreams.

And we do that through using the "Mindset Reset Framework" which focuses on finding your ways to rest, recover, and reconnect with yourself and your partner.

It is also noted how vital it is to your recovery to remove the guesswork and actually do the research into the alternate options to building your family and EXPLORE your feelings around each of those. Part of the recover phase is to figure out where you truly stand with each option and Rachel shares key questions to help do that.
