After marrying the love of her life, Jessica found herself on a journey of IVF treatments, processing childhood trauma, and learning how to stay hopeful during infertility. A common assumption we hold is that if we do good, no harm will come to us. The world does not fit that utopian narrative, and as such Jessica has faced deep loss and trauma as she desperately attempted to keep her marriage and family afloat. After hearing her story, you’ll see just how imperative it was that she dive head first into deep spiritual connection and community to live with grief and trauma. We need each other especially during hard seasons.
If you are going through infertility, or something similar, we are here for you.
