A Journey Into Mamahood...And Other Big Dreams
I want to tell you the story of a SHIFTER we will call Katie.
Trigger warning: this story includes pregnancy loss, but it happily ends in success!.
Katie joined my group coaching program SHIFT in 2021 with what seemed like a far off dream of having a baby.
She and her husband had been trying for a long time and were doing all the "right" things, one of which - for them - was IVF.
After one failed transfer, they got pregnant, but sadly found out it was no longer at 6 weeks.
Throughout her IVF journey, the world was telling her this was going to be the hardest time of her life.
And this filled her with a level of stress and fear that she had never felt before.
And this is when she heard my IVF story, and realized that her journey could feel a completely different way…and it became the most beautiful time of her life.
And in 2022, Katie finally had her baby girl.
And the best part is that her journey there felt magical.
Along the way she:
Transformed the grueling routine of shots into sacred rituals
Turned doctors appointments into romantic stolen moments with her husband
Deepened into trust that she would become a mama, and was able to enjoy her last year as "not a mama"
Found an amazing, supportive group of friends
Let me be clear: in no way am I telling you that SHIFT is going to get you pregnant.
But I am saying that SHIFT can be an incredibly supportive place that will transform your journey to mamahood, if that’s what you’re looking for.
Katie just sent me a picture of her beautiful baby girl, and we paused to reflect on the time we shared that got her to this moment.
She took a deep breath and said:
"I am so grateful for the tools I learned in SHIFT. They helped me turn what could have been a nightmare into my own version of a fairytale. They helped me through pregnancy, labor and now, they are helping me stay present and grateful through longest, shortest time of being a new mama"
I share this story because it shows the power of SHIFT, and how the work we do inside that container really does work, but also because - in its own way - Katie’s story is all of ours.
We all have dreams that are so big they are sometimes painful to dream.
And we have all experienced moments when there is no reason to believe those dreams will come true.
But that doesn’t mean we should stop dreaming them, or believing that we are deserving of living them out.
With manifestation, it’s important to accept that you can be crystal clear on the desire, while also trusting that the journey to get there can look and feel different than you expect it to.
This is why Katie’s story is about more than fertility, pregnancy, or motherhood - it’s about learning to make the journey towards our scariest, most tender desires feel good, even when the going gets tough.
