Mindfulness and Motherhood: Josephine Atluri's Journey Through Fertility Challenges

It's just coming from a place of reality. Having gone through all of this, is that I know how hard it is going to be to introduce something and, like you said, with the book then you're being very proactive and giving people the tools rather than reactive once they're in the thick of it.
Imagine facing the highs and lows of motherhood while navigating the complex world of fertility issues. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', mindfulness and meditation coach Josephine Atluri opens up about her incredible journey to becoming a mother of seven, including three sets of twins. Her story is a tapestry of adoption, surrogacy, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with fertility struggles and miscarriage.
Josephine shares how she and her husband decided to adopt after facing fertility issues and a heartbreaking miscarriage. But the surprises didn’t stop there. They were soon pregnant with twins, and instead of basking in the joy, Josephine found herself gripped by the fear of another miscarriage. The journey continued with the decision to use surrogates for their remaining embryos, resulting in two more sets of twins. Throughout her family’s unique path, Josephine discovered the power of mindfulness and meditation.
She explains how these practices helped her stay grounded and present during some of the most challenging times. Her message is clear: self-care isn’t just a luxury; it’s essential, especially for mothers who often put everyone else’s needs before their own. Josephine's insights are a beacon for anyone dealing with fertility issues or contemplating adoption or surrogacy. She encourages listeners to keep an open mind and heart when it comes to family planning.
Her candid discussion about the realities of surrogacy provides a realistic perspective that can help others who are considering this path. Join host Christopher Heimerman as he dives into Josephine Atluri’s heartfelt story. This episode is not just about motherhood; it’s about resilience, self-care, and the importance of staying present through life’s unpredictable journey.
