The holidays can be magical — but if you’re trying to conceive, they can also feel incredibly heavy. Between family gatherings, triggering comments, pregnancy announcements, disrupted routines, and the emotional weight of longing for a baby, this season brings unique challenges that often go unspoken.

In today’s solo episode, Jacqueline shares a supportive and practical guide for navigating the holiday season while TTC. You’ll learn how to protect your emotional well-being, set healthy boundaries, handle difficult conversations, and understand the real impact stress and travel can have on your cycle. (Spoiler: it’s less than you think!)

Whether you’re heading into Thanksgiving, preparing for December festivities, or simply trying to stay grounded, this episode offers comfort, clarity, and actionable tools to help you move through the holidays with more compassion for yourself.
