I have a confession…
When I hear the word “thrive” used in the context of struggle, there’s a part of me that feels resistant. Skeptical.
“Thrive” can sometimes imply that we should be happy-joyful-awesome no matter what kind of painful crisis we’re navigating. The word can feel flippant, invalidating, and naive to those who are really hurting.
So, Dusty, why in the world would you call you practice Thrive (in)Fertility?
I’ll explain…
The New Year. What a sight for sore eyes.
If you’re reading this, I bet that last year was hard, maybe even brutal at times.
At the start of it you undoubtedly thought, “For sure, this will be the year I get pregnant…stay pregnant…become a mom.” Maybe you’ve been saying that for several years in a row now.
But there’s just something about this time of year that awakens possibility. Renews energy and tempts us to muster up a fresh hope.
But hope sure can feel dangerous, right?...
