Hi, and welcome to my personal blog about my journey with infertility.
Welcome to the Hapless Bird.
Let me start by saying that my life isn’t entirely hapless. In fact, it’s pretty good.
I’m a life coach, yoga instructor, and personal trainer living in Perth, Australia. I love swimming, surfing and photography. I am happily married and have had the opportunity to travel to many countries.
The ‘hapless’ part of my life, has to do with fertility … or lack there of. I’m passionate about sharing my infertility journey. I first started sharing what I was going through with close friends and family back in 2013, and I learned so much from speaking up. I learned that others are genuinely really interested in learning about infertility, and supporting me and others who are dealing with it. I learned that I felt less alone by sharing my journey and that unfortunately very few people are willing to talk about it.
I’ll be adding more details about my own journey and the intention of my blog soon. I respect every women, man, and couple’s journey with infertility and my hope is that you will take from this blog what is helpful and inspiring to you and leave anything that doesn’t resonate or isn’t helpful. You can count on me to be real, honest and supportive.
Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Great to hear your thoughts on dealing with infertility. Sharing your struggles with those closest to you takes great courage. Xoxo
Thanks Steph. It does take courage initially, but it helps!
One thing I learned along my own journey is that we are not alone! It helps just to know others can relate and give their support. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely agree Kate. It can feel like we’re the only ones going through it, and it’s not until we talk about it that we realise there are so many others in the similar situation.
