In this heartfelt episode of Catching Up with Conception, I sit down with Carrie Hauskens, writer and creator of @bloomingwithcare, to discuss the raw, honest, and deeply personal journey of navigating infertility and embracing a child-free life.
Carrie opens up about the years of TTC, IVF, heartbreaking losses—including the stillbirth of her daughter Clementine—and the pivotal decision to stop pursuing parenthood. We dive into the complexities of grief, societal expectations, and what it truly means to build a fulfilling life outside of motherhood.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt unseen in their fertility journey. Whether you’re in the trenches of TTC, exploring alternative paths, or wondering what life could look like beyond infertility, Carrie’s wisdom and humor will leave you feeling understood and uplifted.
🎧 Tune in for a conversation about hope, healing, and redefining what family means.
