[Encore] 15. 10 Tips To Help You Move Forward When You Are Feeling Stuck

I recently did a poll on my instagram and I wanted to share the results with you. I've personally been feeling tired. Burnt out. And I asked if others were feeling the same thing. I got an overwhelming response of YES! You are feeling burnt out just like me.

It got me thinking...when we are feeling tired, burned out, or are forced to take a pause on our fertility journey it can feel so frustrating. It can make us feel stuck when really what we have is an opportunity.

On today's episode I'm sharing 10 tips to help you keep moving forward when you feel stuck. This episode is great for anyone who is forced to take a break (a canceled cycle, a clinic closure for maintenance, etc.) or anyone who is just generally feeling tired and not sure how to move forward.

Did your doctor just tell you that you need to use a donor?
