June is Infertility Awareness Month and this one i

June is Infertility Awareness Month and this one is close to my heart. 💙 I know what it feels like to quietly struggle while everyone around you seems to have it figured out. And I never want anyone in this community to feel alone in that journey.

2 years of trying followed by 2 miscarriages 8 total rounds of treatment. No diagnosis. So many tears….. 3 kids healthy kiddos now ages 11, 14 & 16 💜

So this Tuesday, June 23rd at noon CST I’m going live on Instagram with Dr. Lisa Shandley of InVia Fertility — and we’re talking about it in brief 10ish minute chat. The hard stuff. The hopeful stuff. The things nobody tells you before you walk into a fertility clinic.

No fluff. Just answers.

📅 Tuesday, June 23rd | 🕐 12PM CST Right here on @chicagonorthshoremoms

No one ever feels "ready," not for assisted living, not for change. But Eric Klein of CarePatrol Chicagoland North says readiness isn't the right measure. Safety is. "The real question isn't, 'Is Mom ready to move?' It's, 'Are we ready for the next fall?'" His guidance is free to families. Tap the link in bio to read the full story, then reach out to Eric at 847.653.1213 or eklein@carepatrol.com.
