The most important thing that people should get from this is: you can say some flippant remark or you can talk behind the scenes, but we don't know what's happening with that couple.
Imagine facing the emotional rollercoaster of infertility while staying committed to sobriety. In this heartfelt episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz sit down with Courtney Anderson, a vibrant sobriety advocate from Detroit. Courtney opens up about her and her husband's ongoing struggle with infertility, sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about the financial strain, emotional toll, and societal pressures that come with trying to conceive.
She doesn't shy away from discussing how sex can become a chore, the business-like nature of making a baby, and the unhelpful comments from well-meaning friends and family. Through their conversation, Melissa comes to realize that guilt isn't the answer; empathy and education are. Courtney also touches on her journey as a sober coach, podcaster, and co-founder of National Sober Day. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone navigating infertility or supporting someone who is.
With honesty and a sprinkle of humor, Melissa, Cody, and Courtney provide a compassionate look at a deeply personal issue.
