In this episode, we are having a more vulnerable conversation about the emotional reality of trying to conceive, the waiting, the uncertainty, and the quiet grief that often goes unseen.

Dabby shares part of her personal journey with infertility, opening up about how excitement slowly shifted into anxiety, questions, and a deep loss of control. Together, we explore what it means to hold hope while also navigating disappointment, triggers, and the pressure to “stay positive.”

We talk about:

• The emotional weight of uncertainty and waiting
• Grieving a timeline that doesn’t unfold as expected
• The loss of control and identity shifts that can come with fertility struggles
• Navigating triggers like pregnancy announcements and social situations
• How to hold hope without falling into toxic positivity

Infertility is often experienced in silence, but you are not alone in this.

If you’re in a season of trying, waiting, or hoping, this episode is a space for all of it: the hope, the grief, the anger, and everything in between.

Your feelings are valid. Your story is still unfolding.
