About this listen

 Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why am I going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl.

    60 | Another Month, Another ‘Not Pregnant,’ Another Battle in Your Mind: 4 Ways to Reframe Your Thoughts
    May 12 2025
    💛 Episode Summary:

    If you’ve ever felt like your mind is working against you while trying to conceive — this episode is for you.

    In today’s conversation, we’re talking about one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of the waiting season: your thought life. Because not every thought you think is true… especially when the enemy is loud, your heart is tired, and the waiting feels endless.

    I’ll share personal lies I believed during my own TTC journey, the scriptures that helped me fight back, and practical steps you can take to renew your mind — even when your emotions haven’t caught up yet.

    You’ll walk away with tools to:

    • Identify the toxic thoughts keeping you stuck

    • Replace lies with biblical truth

    • Reclaim mental peace, even when nothing’s changing physically

    Because infertility is more than just a physical battle — it’s spiritual, emotional, and deeply mental. And God wants to meet you there too. 💛
