Episode 36: Faith – My Journey to Wellness and Advocacy

This month on A Soulful Mom’s Wisdom podcast, we’ve been exploring the theme of faith. In this final episode of the series, I’m sharing my personal journey through family planning, infertility, and how faith and wellness helped me navigate the uncertainty.

Let me be clear—this journey was far from perfect. I experienced moments of sadness, doubt, and frustration. But through it all, faith helped me find peace, trust, and resilience in the process.

Theme: Faith

Quote: "I also believe that God has an overall plan for people's lives and the details get worked out along the way, even though we usually have no idea what's going on"

Episode Highlights

• Choosing IVF as a step of faith and what the process was like for me.
• Faith, wellness, and advocacy—how I learned to become my own biggest advocate.
• The power of community and why breaking the silence around infertility is so important.
• Financial and emotional realities of IVF, including costs, challenges, and unexpected blessings.
• How faith anchored me through uncertainty and helped me surrender control.

If you or someone you know is navigating infertility, I hope this episode provides encouragement and reminds you that you are not alone.
