In episode #118, Sarah Jane shares her personal story of loss, unexplained infertility, and ultimately a chronic illness that resulted in a hysterectomy. As an embodiment teacher and life coach, Sarah Jane discusses the importance of acknowledging your grief and giving it space. Self-compassion is such an important part of processing a childless life, especially when it was not the one you had planned. We also talk about how the message of never giving up trying for a child can be more hurtful than helpful.
