Episode 042: Lessons from the Emergency Vet
In today’s episode, I share a recent and unexpected experience that took me and my family to the emergency vet—and the deep personal and fertility lessons it brought with it. Sometimes, life gives us gentle (or not-so-gentle) reminders about what really matters, how we show up, and how we receive support.
Whether you're on your own fertility journey or navigating a tough season of life, this episode is here to help you pause, breathe, and connect more deeply with what you need most.

✨ Here’s what we explore in this episode:
💫 The Power of the Pause: How slowing down in the face of chaos can bring surprising clarity and groundedness.
💫 Shifting from Control to Curiosity: Why trying to "fix" everything quickly doesn’t always work—and what it looks like to be open to what's unfolding.
💫 Practicing Presence in Hard Moments: How I called on my tools of presence and self-awareness during a moment of fear and uncertainty.
💫 The Importance of Receiving: A powerful reminder about the energy of receiving care—and how it mirrors the IVF journey.
💫 Letting Hope In: How hope (even when shaky) can carry you, and why it’s okay to let someone else hold that hope for you.
This episode is for you if you’re feeling weary, uncertain, or in need of a quiet moment to reflect and feel less alone. Life is always speaking—sometimes through tears, sometimes through waiting rooms, and sometimes through the furry beings we love most.
