Show notes
On this week's episode, we get to talk to Michelle Brooks, SP Nutrition Coach, mama, and the creator of the SP Women's Loss and Infertility Support Group. She shares about her struggles with fertility and experience with multiple losses. She opens up about investigating many healthy and not so healthy ways to cope and shares ways that we can all learn to support our community members who have gone or are going through this type of experience. Her story is one of deep heartbreak and even deeper promise and it's an honor to be able to share some of it with you all.
