The coolness of Fall is slowly creeping in, and today Hailey Rose said to me, “Mummy, I’m chilly. Come close to me, because you are my best cuddle friend.” Sometimes the words that come out of her mouth leave me breathless. This was one of those times. And it made me step back and take a moment to recall the dream of this child, the dream of a sweet scenerio such as this…and yet another type of chill that had swept throughout me for close to a decade, while feeling the cold isolation of infertility. ‘But look at us now’, I thought. How far this journey has taken me!

On this, our 48th show, we feel the warmth and sincerity from our guest, Melissa, through her beautiful story and her sharing heart. Now Melissa felt that she would be able to find a peace somehow, even if motherhood never came to her, even though she so deeply desired children. But she didn’t have to cross that bridge. Some of us, however, aren’t quite as accepting. And so we do our best to press onward, leaving no stone unturned, doing whatever crazy thing it takes. And that’s ok. We all do what each of us HAS to do…however we have to do it.

You can’t face infertility without those brutal moments of hell, but we are here to tell you that your hell CAN be turned into your Heaven, and you WILL realize this strong desire that is so deeply seeded within your soul. The key here: you must NEVER give up. Melissa believes we are ALL given some sort of season(s) of suffering. But it’s up to US to choose whether we will come out of those seasons bitter or better.

So take a listen to Part 2, the conclusion, of Melissa’s journey to motherhood and how it has transformed her life.
