"You have to allow yourself to let grief and joy coexist." -Katie Sorrell
Motherhood after infertility looks different for everyone but even in the messiest moments, there’s still space for hope. Today, Stephanie sits down with her friend Katie for an honest conversation about her long journey through infertility, IVF treatments, pregnancy loss, and the unexpected redemption of a natural pregnancy.
Katie opens up about the emotional weight of infertility—what it’s like to grieve the life you imagined while still trying to stay hopeful. She shares the complex decisions involved in fertility treatments, the deep loneliness that can come with pregnancy loss, and the unexpected joy that followed when she least expected it. Her story is one of resilience, surrender, and finding encouragement in unexpected places.
This episode also explores the quieter side of motherhood after infertility—the lingering effects of shame, comparison, and guilt—and why the journey doesn’t end once you become a parent. Katie reminds us that healing is ongoing, and that joy and grief can coexist in powerful, meaningful ways.
Whether you’re navigating infertility yourself, parenting after loss, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope, compassion, and a gentle reminder that your story—no matter how it unfolds—is valid and worthy of being heard. Warm up your favorite beverage, grab a blanket, and enjoy this emotional yet powerful episode with Stephanie and Katie.
