In this heartfelt episode of Joy of the Hang, I sit down with Christina Ordonez for an honest conversation about the emotional, physical, and relational challenges of pregnancy and IVF treatments.
Christina shares what it’s really like to walk through uncertainty, medical interventions, hope, disappointment, and resilience—often quietly, and often without enough support. We talk about the parts of fertility journeys that are rarely discussed: the isolation, the pressure to stay positive, and the deep need for connection during one of life’s most vulnerable seasons.
This episode is for anyone who has struggled to conceive, supported someone who has, or felt unseen during a season that was supposed to be joyful. It’s a reminder that hope can coexist with grief—and that no one should have to walk this road alone.
🎧 A conversation about courage, compassion, and the power of being held—emotionally and socially—when the journey gets hard.
