Ep 24 Celebrating Strength: Honoring Women on Their Fertility Journey This International Women’s Day

Today, on International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate a type of strength that often goes unseen but is felt so deeply - the strength of women walking the fertility journey.

As someone who has faced the heartbreak of infertility, I know the quiet resilience it takes to wake up every day and keep going when the dream of motherhood feels just out of reach. I know the courage it takes to endure the endless doctor visits, the invasive tests, the injections and the two-week waits that stretch on forever.

I know the tears cried in silence, the ache of watching friends and family grow their families while you’re left holding onto hope. And I know the strength it takes to stand back up after every setback, every negative test and every dashed hope.

Infertility doesn’t just challenge your body - it challenges your heart, your mind and your identity. Yet, through it all, we rise.

We rise by showing up for life even when our hearts are heavy. We rise by offering love and support to others while quietly grieving our own losses. We rise by holding onto hope, even when it feels impossible.

This International Women’s Day, I want to honour every woman navigating the fertility journey:

• The woman who has just started and is filled with hope and trepidation.
• The woman who has been walking this path for years and wonders how much more she can endure.
• The woman who is considering new paths to motherhood, like adoption or surrogacy, with equal parts fear and excitement.
• And the woman who is bravely redefining what it means to live a full and meaningful life without children.

Your strength matters. Your story matters. And you matter - no matter where you are on this journey.

Today is about celebrating you - not just for what you endure but for the love, resilience and courage you show every single day.

As we honour women across the globe, let’s hold space for those of us navigating infertility.  Let’s celebrate the quiet, unseen strength it takes to keep moving forward when the path is uncertain.

If you’re reading this and feel alone in your journey, I want you to know you’re not. You are part of a community of women who understand, who see you and who are cheering you on.

Let’s celebrate our strength together, today and every day.

Love and understanding
