I know there are so many women and couples that are currently experiencing a deeply personal journey in trying to start a family. Infertility is on the rise and it is deeply affecting couples on a spiritual, emotional and physical level. Couples feel hopeless, depleted, and even financially overwhelmed. That is why I feel like today's conversation is meant for you to hear today. I believe we all should have answers to why we are struggling in the first place and maybe we have yet to find the solution to that struggle. I brought on my guest today to explain why we may be struggling to get pregnant, how we can get to the root cause of our infertility, and then most importantly set ourselves up for success so that not only can you get pregnant, but as well hold the pregnancy
