There is no “right” way to navigate infertility. Having children is only one aspect of motherhood, and today we our joined by an incredible guest, Erin, who is openly sharing her TTC journey that ultimately led to the acceptance toward finding happiness in a life together without kids.
As Erin shares, your value in life and quality of life is not dependent on having children. Male factory infertility coupled with various treatments and adoption not being the right path for Erin and her partner, this episode illuminates the power of self-awareness, partnership, and love.
After recording our episode, Erin wanted to pass on a few additional thoughts and perspectives:
I wanted to share one section of a small book I read about motherhood that really helped my perspective as well:
“I know that having children is only one aspect of “motherhood” and I can channel my motherly traits to other aspects of my life. Even if I don’t have my own, I can mother in different ways.
I also I joined a volunteer program to help with kids in my area who are in the foster care system. So even finding hobbies like this can help you feel fulfilled and make a difference to find peace within.” -Erin
