BONUS: How to Cope When Nothing Seems to Be Happening (When You're Trying To Get Pregnant)
In this deeply compassionate episode of Motherhood Intended, Jacqueline opens up about the emotional toll of the “waiting season” during the fertility journey. Whether you’re waiting for test results, a cycle to begin, or answers that feel impossibly out of reach, Jacqueline shares her own experiences and insights to help you feel seen and supported during this often invisible and very isolating stage. She offers grounding practices, mindset shifts, and an invitation to rest rather than constantly prepare — reminding you that this season is not wasted.
What you'll hear:
- Why the “waiting season” can feel so overwhelming — and why it’s not actually a passive phase
- Practical tools to ground yourself when everything feels out of control (daily rituals, journaling prompts, affirmations)
- The importance of reframing rest as necessary, not indulgent, while trying to conceive
- How therapy and community support can be essential tools, even if you’re “just” in the waiting
