Overcoming the Emotional Stigmas of Infertility (ePub)

Do you feel like a failure because you cannot conceive or carry a baby to full term? Do you feel unworthy for being infertile? Are you ready to transform from a mindset of defeat and low self-esteem to one of victory, freedom, and peace?

There was a time when I saw myself as damaged goods. I was hard on myself, felt unworthy because of my infertility, and was tormented by negative thoughts and emotions. The worst part was that I didn't know how to stop. Then a miracle happened: I had an awakening. The crippling pain, heartache, and toxic thoughts associated with infertility no longer control my life and my self-esteem. I now feel worthy as a mother, wife, and woman, and I coach others who are dealing with infertility. I hope that the story of my journey inspires you and guides you through your infertility challenges.

Infertility impacts one in eight couples, yet many suffer alone and in silence. Thank you, Frances Jones, for sharing your story to help increase awareness and shatter the stigmas that surround this issue. Your personal journey through physical and emotional struggles on your way to finding peace again is inspirational. Many will find comfort in this book.
