The Importance of Support: Finding a Community During Infertility | Lauren Yard
Description
Lauren joined me to talk about her journey of building her family. She is happily married with two children under three years old. However, it was not an easy journey for Lauren as she faced over two years of infertility and multiple miscarriages. We discuss the need for support and normalizing discussions about seemingly taboo topics. We also talk about letting go and controlling the things in our power and allowing life to teach us the lessons it has for us.
Lauren is a mom of 2 human boys and two dogs. With such an energetic crew, she looks to her husband for comedic relief and calmness when the household seems a little chaotic. She can frequently be found in a flower garden, reading young adult novels, sitting in the sunshine, and eating cold food and leftover snacks because… kids. She prides herself on finding a way to make things work when all hope seems lost--fully aware that some call that denial; she calls it persistence.
