In episode #124, Kendra shares her personal story of loss. Before conceiving, she was told that she had low progesterone and estrogen dominance - a hormone imbalance that could result in miscarriage. With no other information or assistance offered, Kendra and her husband tried to get pregnant for 16 long months. Shortly after they finally conceived, Kendra began experiencing pain and spotting. Medical professionals advised that it could be an ectopic pregnancy, but it was too early to know for sure. It was not until after she miscarried, and then changed doctors, that Kendra regained her hope in one day becoming a mother. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and conceived her son the first month her doctor put her on Clomid. Kendra had to do a lot of her own research on this journey, and it inspired her to support others going through similar experiences. She is studying to become an integrative wellness coach, specializing in grief, miscarriage, and hormones. She is also working toward becoming a bereavement doula. We discuss coping strategies, how to advocate for yourself, and the importance of listening to your inner voice.
