My heart can hold…

Navigating infertility shows us that our hearts are often much larger and more resilient than we give them credit for.

It can feel confusing to carry the weight of a deep ache in one hand and a spark of hope in the other.

Every emotion has its place. Swipe to read through this piece about holding space for it all.

The in-between

The in-between

The in-between is one of the hardest places to live

It’s the heavy space where we ask ourselves: Is it viable? Will it happen? How much longer can I wait?

Remember -
It is okay to hold onto the “rope” of faith with hands that are shaking.
It is okay to believe that your life is divinely ordained while still feeling the very human fear of what comes next.

Whatever is happening behind the scenes of your story, you don’t have to hold the rope alone.

We are right here in the in-between with you.

Surrendering is self care
Self-Care Aimee Baron Self-Care Aimee Baron

Surrendering is self care

Planning can feel like the only thing keeping us afloat
But when we stop, the silence can feel terrifying

It is so heavy to carry the weight of “what if” for so many years
Your spent from being in limbo

Choosing to surrender or pause doesn’t mean you’re giving up
It might just mean you’re taking care of yourself

Spoon Theory

Spoon Theory

Have you heard of spoon theory? It’s the idea that pain, whether emotional or physical, and chronic illness impact a person’s ability to do different daily activities and that each activity costs a certain amount of “spoons”.

Healthy people have unlimited spoons each day and don’t need to think twice about how to use their spoons. But people experiencing pain, chronic illness, or infertility have to be aware of how many spoons they have each day and plan accordingly.

This might look like saying no to Chanukah parties in order to save spoons for making and eating dinner that night.

Spoon theory empowers people to set boundaries to safeguard their mental and physical wellbeing. It’s a reminder to save some spoons to take care of yourself.

We have a limited amount of spoons each day - don’t use any on people or situations that bring you down and wear you out.

Do you think spoon theory is a helpful tool for you? What are some “spoons” you chose to do this time of year?

“My therapist has been helping me through the pain that is this journey and she gave me a prompt to write a movie about my life. I am going to share it here because if it can even reach another likeminded person and make them feel less alone I am here for it.”

Reminder: Deep Breaths

Reminder: Deep Breaths

Sometimes the weight of it all makes it literally hard to breathe.
The waiting. The wondering. The what-ifs.

This is your gentle reminder to pause — inhale deeply, exhale slowly. Even if it doesn’t fix anything, it can make the next moment a little lighter.

You are carrying so much. Let yourself breathe through it.

Rest does not equal laziness

Rest does not equal laziness

PSA 🚨

We’ve been taught to measure our worth by how much we do. But what if the most radical thing we could do… is pause?

Rest isn’t giving up. It’s tuning in. It’s saying, my body matters, my mind matters, I matter.

Let that be enough today. 🤍
