Back to Episodes132. The Gifts You Receive Inside the Waiting Season
Description
Waiting can be one of the hardest spiritual assignments, especially when you are being asked to surrender the one thing your heart wants most.
In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Spenser Brassard, life and fertility coach, author of Fertile Ground, and host of the Fertile Ground Podcast. Stefanie shares how Spenser's work deeply supported her during her own seven-year fertility journey, and together they have a powerful conversation about infertility, surrender, identity, motherhood, and finding yourself in the waiting.
Spenser opens up about her eight-year fertility journey, unexplained infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and the mindset and spiritual shifts that helped her move from obsessive control into deeper trust, self-compassion, and full-body surrender. Together, they explore how fertility can be understood not just as pregnancy, but as the ability to create, receive, expand, and become the woman you are being called to be.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that you are allowed to want what you want, but you are also allowed to live, heal, grow, and experience joy while you are still waiting.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Spenser's eight-year fertility journey and what it taught her about surrender
- Why trying to control every outcome can create more suffering
- How to support yourself emotionally during a waiting season
- Why compassion for your humanity is part of healing
- The difference between wanting motherhood and making a child responsible for your happiness
- How the lessons inside Fertile Ground can apply to any area of life where you are waiting, creating, or becoming
