Mother’s Day can feel beautiful, heartbreaking, complicated… or all three at once.

In this deeply personal episode of the Suddenly Infertile Podcast, I open up about what it feels like to navigate infertility on a day that can magnify grief, longing, and disappointment. I share honestly about wanting to hide, struggling to stay present, and learning how to hold both joy for others and sadness for myself at the same time.

Through Hannah’s journey with infertility, we talk about faith, waiting, surrender, and what happens when your relationship with God shifts from transactional faith to real trust.

If you’ve ever asked:

• “Why me?”
• “Why hasn’t God answered my prayer?”
• “How do I keep believing while I’m hurting?”

…this episode is for you.

☕ In this week’s Sis, What’s the Tea? segment, we also discuss the lawsuit against the Pasadena Black Infant Health Program and the larger conversation surrounding Black maternal health, healthcare disparities, and why programs designed for underserved communities exist.

In this episode, we’re talking about something that can bring real hope in the middle of the infertility journey: infertility grants!

If you’ve ever wondered how people are affording fertility treatments or questioned whether there are real resources out there to help, this conversation is for you. We break down what infertility grants are, where to find them, what the application process looks like, and practical tips to help you feel more confident when applying. Because navigating infertility is already heavy...access to support shouldn’t feel out of reach.

And of course, we’re getting into our “Sis, What’s the Tea?” segment where we talk about the latest updates with Costco and how they have entered the fertility chat. It’s honest, it’s relatable, and it’s definitely giving “group chat with your sis” energy.

Whether you’re currently trying to conceive, exploring your options, or just looking for encouragement and real conversation, this episode is here to remind you: there is support, there are resources, and you are not alone.

In this special episode of Suddenly Infertile, I’m joined by a very important guest — my husband. Together we open up about our journey through infertility from both perspectives. We talk about how we met, when I shared my diagnosis of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, and what it has looked like navigating infertility as a married couple.

During the conversation, my husband shares his honest feelings about what infertility has been like for him as a partner, the emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about, and how couples can support their wives and each other through such a difficult and uncertain season.

We also share some exciting and hopeful news that we were recently awarded a fertility grant and are currently in the process of preparing for the next step in our journey. While we are grateful to share parts of this experience, we also ask for understanding as some details of this process may remain private as we move forward.

This episode is a reminder that infertility is not just an individual experience, but something that impacts couples and families. Our hope is that this conversation encourages honesty, compassion, and support for anyone walking a similar path.

In Part 4 of this deeply personal series, I open my heart to the parts of infertility we don’t talk about enough, the quiet grief, the unanswered prayers, and the slow, sacred process of letting go of the life I thought I would have.

This episode is about mourning what was lost while learning how to breathe again. It’s about healing in layers, surrendering control, and trusting God even when the future looks nothing like the plan you held onto for so long. If you’ve ever felt torn between faith and heartbreak, strength and exhaustion, hope and grief then this episode is for you.

You are not weak for grieving. You are not broken for hurting. And you are not alone.

🎙️ Suddenly Infertile is a safe space for women struggling silently, navigating infertility with faith, honesty, and community.

In this deeply personal episode of Suddenly Infertile, I open up about the experiences that shaped me. From my college years to my first marriage, divorce, and the devastating loss of my father, this episode traces the emotional groundwork that made my diagnosis feel like both a breaking point and a revelation.

This is a story about growing up too fast in a body that couldn’t keep up. About grief layered on grief. About trying to be strong while quietly unraveling. And about realizing that infertility doesn’t begin at a diagnosis—it often shows up after years of survival, loss, and unanswered prayers.

We also spill some necessary tea: infertility discrimination is illegal. Just like pregnancy, infertility is protected under federal law, and employees undergoing fertility treatment have rights to reasonable accommodations at work. If you believe you are experiencing infertility discrimination, you can learn more and file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):

Because even in the breaking, something is still being built.

What happens when the world keeps moving, but your body suddenly falls silent? In Part 2 of A Grown Woman’s Battle in a Little Girl’s Body, I open up about the moment everything shifted, the day my body went quiet. This episode explores the confusion, the fear, and the faith it took to navigate a change I never saw coming.

I’m sharing the questions no one prepared me to ask, the strength I didn’t know I had, and the way that silence can become a turning point instead of an ending. If you’ve ever felt unheard by your own body, this story is for you.

This journey is raw, vulnerable, and full of hope. Because sometimes, what feels like a shutdown is actually the beginning of understanding.

Tune in, and let’s walk through it together sis!

In the very first episode of the Suddenly Infertile Podcast, DaMarra Chanel opens up about the early years of her journey long before doctors, diagnoses, or even the language to explain what was happening. As a little Black girl, her body was doing things that didn’t quite match her age, and nobody around her really knew why.

This is Part 1 of her story, where the seeds of her infertility journey were planted, even though she didn’t know it yet. She’s pulling back the curtain gently, inviting you into the moments that shaped everything that came next without giving it all away just yet.

And in “Sis, What’s the Tea?”, DaMarra breaks down what’s going on politically with IVF right now what you need to know, how it could impact our options to build families, and why we cannot afford to ignore it.
