Valerie Morris shares her story of overcoming infertility and eventually undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in episode 11 of “Truly, Truly Tenay” podcast.
In this episode, she shares her healing journey timeline, including which approaches, professionals, and resources were really helpful (see below), and the breakthrough moment that made ten years of navigating infertility worth it. She shares how she applied holistic healing principles to her journey and dreams with me as we envision how our current health, wellness, and human services sectors can change to improve health outcomes for people with infertility.
This podcast is great for anyone navigating a complex illness–whether congenital, developmental, chronic, or injury-based– wanting to support or heal people with complex illnesses, or wanting to improve the health, wellness, and human services sectors–what we at Benes Companies call the “care continuum“.
