We are grieving this potential future we had in mind, right? I know for me, when I wasn’t sure if we would get pregnant, I was like, ‘I don't know if I'm going to be able to become a mom or be able to become a mom in the way that I was thinking I would be.’ There was grief around every failed cycle, grief around failed treatment, grief for any pregnancy losses that happen along the way.  And sometimes on the outside, people don't fully see that or understand it because it's not this tangible thing.” – Kayla Estenson Williams, LMFT   ·         BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE DISCOVERY CALL WITH MICHELLE        SHOW NOTES - Holding Space for Our Healing through Infertility and Pregnancy Loss ·         TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: Coaching with Michelle FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!
