Episode Details

Why does waiting feel like one of the hardest parts of becoming a mother?

In this episode, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Leah dive into the often overlooked but deeply impactful role that waiting plays in the journey to motherhood.

From the two-week wait while trying to conceive, to months or years of infertility, to delays in treatment, to the long stretch of pregnancy and even going past your due date, waiting shows up in every phase of this experience.

Dr. Morgan shares what it has been like waiting for her baby to arrive as she goes beyond her due date, while Dr. Leah opens up about the emotional challenges of waiting to conceive through IVF after unexpected delays.

Together, they share the lessons, mindset shifts, and emotional tools they have developed through their own experiences to help navigate uncertainty, frustration, and lack of control.

If you are in a season of waiting, whether in fertility, pregnancy, or motherhood, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to move through it.
