I’ll bet you know at least 8 people; Friends, coworkers, students, family members. Did you know that, of those 8 people, at least one of them will struggle with infertility? Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? Well, it is. 1 in 8 people struggle with infertility and you may never even know it. Why? Because our society often tells women that our bodies are taboo, that our disorders and struggles should remain on the down low and we should remain hush hush about them. Join me, Monica Wallace, Licensed Midwife and Womens Health Educator and Wellness Counselor, as we take a look at the infertility struggle for women today and why our struggles do NOT need to be hush hush any longer. We’re having real, authentic conversations, not only for women who are suffering, but also for women who know, care for, or love someone who is struggling as well. It’s time that we start holding space for, and supporting women in, telling their stories as the first step in creating awareness and helping others, and ourselves, to heal and feel empowered to do so.
