When the Village Isn't Villaging

When the Village Isn't Villaging

🎙️When the Village Isn’t Villaging

In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Laura and Brandis talk about one of the most painful — and least discussed — parts of the fertility journey: when the people you expect to show up… don’t. 💔

After sharing a personal experience with pregnancy loss during the holidays, Laura opens up about how infertility, miscarriage, and prolonged uncertainty can strain relationships with friends, family, in-laws, and even lifelong best friends. The conversation explores what it feels like when your “village” goes quiet, says the wrong things, avoids the topic, or simply can’t meet you where you are.

Together, they discuss:
✨ How grief and fertility struggles can reshape friendships and family dynamics
✨ Why well-intended people sometimes disappear or mishandle hard conversations
✨ The emotional toll of unmet expectations and feeling unsupported
✨ Setting boundaries to protect your mental health and heart
✨ How new, unexpected relationships can become your chosen village
✨ The power of community found in shared experience — even with people you never expected to meet

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt isolated during infertility, miscarriage, or loss — and for those learning that sometimes your village changes, but you are never truly alone. 🤍
