After eight years of infertility, IVF, and loss, I’m now 17 weeks pregnant with a little girl.

But if I’m being honest, pregnancy after miscarriage hasn’t looked the way I imagined it would. It’s been filled with gratitude and joy, but also fear, anxiety, and learning how to trust my body again after years of disappointment.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about what this journey has really looked like behind the scenes. I’m sharing how I’ve been navigating pregnancy after loss, the emotional tools that have supported me along the way, and the powerful mindset shifts that have helped me release fear and fully receive the joy of this miracle.

Whether you’re still on your fertility journey or walking through pregnancy after loss, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone and that healing doesn’t mean never feeling fear again. It means learning to find peace, grace, and gratitude in the middle of it all.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

  • The emotional reality of pregnancy after miscarriage and infertility
  • How I learned to stop “borrowing future pain” and live in the present moment
  • The practices and mindset shifts that helped me move from fear to gratitude
  • What it means to create new emotional associations after past trauma
  • How I’m preparing mentally and spiritually for motherhood
