In 2021, I attended my first Moms in the Making Conference after years of asking God the same question: “Do You think this will ever happen for me?

A few days after my first miscarriage, we had a house fire and were displaced for a year and a half. Six months after our first loss, I experienced a second miscarriage. We did IVF and during the process, 18 eggs were retrieved, resulting in six embryos, but only one was viable. The embryo transfer failed, and the doctor said

At the time, I was already leading a Moms Made group and a small group at my church. I didn’t think I had the capacity to lead another one. Yet, as the semester start date approached,
I married Erwin in March 2018. Even before our wedding, we knew we wanted children. Six months after we got married we decided to go for it. At first, I wasn’t that worried. However, as it started to take longer, I began to wonder if everything was ok. After two years we decided to go to the doctor. We didn’t
Prior to attending my very first MITM conference in 2023, I was broken, hurting, filled with doubt and convinced that no keynote speaker was going to fix that. I had just experienced my third miscarriage one week before and was overwhelmed by the grief and the timing. I read an email in the days leading up to conference where someone
