Season of Waiting With Christmas two days away, I find myself reflecting on Seasons of Waiting we experience in life. For the longest time, waiting has always sounded like such a passive thing, like you're just sitting around and waiting for something to happen when the reality is seasons of waiting are some of the most active times of life! Look at Mary: as soon as she finds out she is expecting Jesus, Mary sets out "in haste" to go visit her cousin Elizabeth to help he

Your fertility is not a race. Your cycle is not a timer counting down. And you are not “behind.”

I want you to know how incredibly common and incredibly frustrating that experience is. Many of the women and couples I work with have spent months or years feeling confused, unseen, or brushed off.

It’s finally May in Michigan, which means more sun, warmer weather, swimsuits (maybe), and…I’m just going to say it…sweatier crotches. Why should you care?
