185 | Should I Do IUI or IVF to Get Pregnant? 4 Questions to Help You Decide

Have you been told IUI or IVF is your “next step”… but deep down, you still have questions?
In today’s episode, I’m walking through four deeply important questions to prayerfully consider before pursuing fertility treatments like IUI or IVF. We’re talking about understanding your hormones, addressing root causes, discerning peace versus pressure, and bringing this decision fully before the Lord.
I also share why formal fertility education matters so much, especially if you’ve experienced miscarriage, infertility, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained fertility struggles.
This episode is not about shame or fear. It’s about wisdom, discernment, education, and inviting Jesus into every part of your fertility journey.

184 | Mother's Day When TTC: How to Cope When Everyone Else is Happy

Mother’s Day can feel incredibly complicated when you’re trying to conceive, grieving a miscarriage, or longing for a baby you haven’t yet held.
In this deeply personal and Scripture-centered episode, I share an encouragement the Lord placed on my heart just days before Mother’s Day. Together, we walk through James 1 and what it truly means to “consider it joy” during suffering, grief, infertility, miscarriage, and waiting.
This episode is not about pretending things are easy. It’s about understanding the difference between happiness and biblical joy and learning how suffering can deepen our faith and make us more like Christ.
Inside this episode, we talk about:
Why Mother’s Day can feel so painful during infertility or loss
The difference between happiness and biblical joy
How suffering strengthens our faith
What James 1 teaches us about trials and perseverance
Practical encouragement for church services, family gatherings, and grief-filled moments
How to choose joy without denying sorrow
Why God sees every tear and longing in your heart

Friend… if you’ve experienced a loss and you’re wondering “should I just try again right away?” — this episode is for you.
Today we’re having a very honest, grace-filled conversation about something that is often overlooked: how your hormones and overall health may need time to heal after loss.
