The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility

If you’ve ever seen a faint positive line on a pregnancy test—only to start your period days later—you’re not alone. What you experienced may have been a chemical pregnancy, one of the most common and heartbreaking forms of early miscarriage. In this episode, Courtney gently walks you through what a chemical pregnancy is, why faint lines sometimes fade, and how to process the emotional and spiritual weight of that loss. You’ll learn how to find purpose in the pain, discover the difference between forcing joy and choosing to rejoice, and see how Paul’s example of rejoicing in suffering can anchor your heart when life doesn’t go as planned. This episode is an invitation to grieve honestly, rejoice intentionally, and remember that God is near—even when the line fades. Whether you’re walking through early miscarriage, navigating the uncertainty of TTC, or supporting a friend through loss, you’ll leave with biblical truth, gentle encouragement, and hope that heals. 🙏 Scriptures Mentioned: Philippians 4:4–7 Romans 5:3–5 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

In this 20-minute episode, Courtney walks listeners through four common TTC tensions—creating embryos (IVF), genetic screening/selection, donor eggs/sperm & surrogacy, and data-driven tracking—without handing out black-and-white verdicts. Instead, she anchors each topic in Scripture (Psalm 139; Job 31:15; Jeremiah 1:5; Proverbs 16:9; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31–32; Proverbs 3:5–6; Philippians 4:6–7) and offers heart-level reflection prompts to help couples discern before God. You’ll pause to journal, check your motives around control vs. stewardship, and hear a testimony of finding peace when science becomes a gift—not a god.   Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about what I would do differently if I could go back to the beginning of our fertility journey. With the wisdom I have now—and a much more holistic, faith-rooted perspective—I open up about how I would’ve prioritized healing my heart before chasing protocols, taken a more functional approach to my health, and leaned on God’s character instead of rushing ahead in fear.   If you’re in the middle of TTC confusion, feeling pressure to make the “next move,” or wondering what you might be missing—this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and peace.

Have you ever cried out, “Why would God let this happen to me?” In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest faith questions of all time: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering? Through the lens of Job’s story, we uncover a sobering but comforting truth: Satan doesn’t have free rein. He needs permission. Which means that even your deepest pain has passed through the hands of a sovereign, intentional God. We’ll explore how to reconcile God’s goodness with our grief, why knowing His names helps us trust His plans, and how pride whispers, “You could do better,” when faith says, “He is still good.” If you’re walking through loss, disappointment, or a waiting season and wondering where God is in the midst of it — this conversation will meet you there. 📖 Scripture highlights: Job 1–2, Isaiah 55:8–9, Romans 8:28 💛 Faith encouragement + truth-based theology 🎧 Tune in now — and discover how to find peace in the sovereignty of God.   🔗 Apply Now to Join The Waiting Well Framework! 💫 This Christ-centered 8-week mentorship is open for ongoing enrollment.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the outside looking in — watching others step into the motherhood role you long for — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re naming the ache to belong that so many women silently carry during their fertility journey. From the pain of not holding the title “mom” yet, to the emotional weight of feeling left out of the motherhood community, we unpack how God wired us for connection — and how our truest belonging is found in Him, not in our circumstances. Courtney shares a raw personal story of uprooting her life from Maui to Texas and how it revealed deeper lessons about identity, grief, and grounding your worth beyond roles or recognition. Rooted in Scripture and full of practical encouragement, this episode offers a new way to see the season of waiting: not as punishment, but as an invitation to be anchored in God’s love.

If you’ve walked out of an appointment with a handful of prescriptions and a heart full of questions, this episode is for you.
