E122: Finding your voice in the wait: Being unapologetically weird through infertility with Renea Linsom
About this episode
Renea Linsom shares her journey through infertility and the importance of embracing one's true self during the waiting period.
What do you do when your body feels like it's betraying you every single month? How do you hold onto hope when everyone around you seems to get pregnant "just by looking at each other"? In this deeply honest conversation, SEO blog writer and co-author Renea Linsom shares her ongoing fertility journey as she navigates her early 40s still hoping to become a mother. But this isn't just a story about waiting - it's about discovering who you truly are in the process. In this episode, we explore: The monthly cycle of hope and "betrayal" that comes with infertility Why hiding your weird, quirky self makes everything harder How to surrender without giving up completely The power of faith (however that looks for you) when you can't control outcomes Creating safe spaces for your emotions - even the uncomfortable ones Why gratitude for what you have doesn't erase the grief for what you don't Building a relationship that can weather the fertility storm Finding community when you feel completely alone in your experience Key Takeaway: Your life can be beautiful AND full right now, even while you're still hoping for more. The two can coexist. Connect with Renee: Find Renea on all social media…
