“The holidays can feel so magical for some people, but when you’re walking through infertility, they can feel really heavy.” –Stephanie Booe
The holiday season can be so joyful, but if you’re walking through infertility, it can also feel heavy, complicated, and triggering. Today you’re invited into an honest and encouraging conversation with Stephanie that helps you feel less alone in your journey while also giving you tangible tools to navigate those tough holiday moments.
As you listen, you’ll hear a heartfelt look at what infertility can really feel like during the holidays: the grief of another Christmas without a baby, the sting of family questions, and the exhaustion of pretending you’re okay when you’re not. You’ll also learn practical ways to protect your heart, set boundaries, and respond with confidence when triggering conversations arise. Whether it’s choosing when to share your story, deciding how to answer the infamous “when are you going to have a baby?” question, or even giving yourself permission to say no to gatherings altogether, you’ll walk away with strategies that remind you that your mental and emotional health matters most.
If you’ve ever found yourself dreading the holidays because of infertility, this conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and supported. And if you’re a friend or family member of someone who is struggling, this episode will give you insight into their world so you can show up with more compassion, understanding, and support. By the end, you’ll feel equipped to enter this season with gentleness toward yourself, confidence in your choices, validation that you are not walking this journey alone, and practical ways that you can still find joy in this season.
