Over the past year, God has done what I can only describe as heart surgery on me. I entered this season feeling lost and uncertain—after stepping away from acting after 10 years, and making a Holy Spirit-led move from LA to Florida, I didn’t know what God was doing with my life. At the same time, I was navigating infertility
I’ve been married to the love of my life, Ben, for 11 years. Like many couples, we wanted children but focused on our careers first. Four years into our marriage, we still hadn’t conceived, and in 2019, I discovered I had diminished ovarian reserve while trying to donate eggs to my sister. That moment began years of infertility treatments, appointments,
At the start of 2025, life felt full of promise. I was earning a six figure salary, we had just moved into our new home, and we were only 5% away from our IVF savings goal. Then on April 11, 2025, I was laid off due to an economic decision by my former employer. That same day, my husband deployed
Since 2024, I attended Moms in the Making virtual Bible studies while leaders encouraged me to step into leadership. Fear and doubt held me back, and old comments from family and unsolicited church advice left me feeling rejected.

When I joined MITM in August 2019, I was hopeless, defeated, and felt isolated in the journey of infertility. At the time, my husband, Ryan, and I had been trying for two years.

In 2019, I didn’t know what infertility was. At that point, I had been married for 10 years and had never conceived. I remember wondering what I was missing in my Christian walk that would warrant God deciding I couldn’t do what Scripture said to do: “Be fruitful and multiply…” While I’m sure I had encountered other struggling women, I
Four years ago, I sat in my living room with four other women, praying, crying, and dreaming of our future miracle babies as we bonded over infertility and loss. We were part of a Moms in the Making group, and during that time, we leaned on each other, shared our struggles, and prayed fervently for God’s intervention in our lives.
My fertility journey started out rough. I became bitter and angry when others were getting pregnant, and I would question why things were so difficult for me. I lost touch with close friends who had children and removed myself from any conversation or gathering centered around kids or pregnancy. I even became distant from a close family member who got
There is nothing worse than feeling alone and feeling like no one understands you. In March of 2023, I felt ready to move forward and start the process again with IVF. However, that door was closed and I felt once again alone. I started looking for a faith-based support group and that is when I found Moms in the Making.
