Becoming a mom is a different journey for each and every one of us. If Casey and I had not had a miscarriage, our little bundle would be due this week. While we are SO excited about our current bundle of joy, I wanted to make this weeks episode about the journey to kiddos and really shed light on the fact that it is SO different for each of us. My dear friend Alyssa Greene allowed me to interview her about her journey to becoming a mom and how it does not always pan out the way we expect. Alyssa is such a light in this world and while she and her husband do not have kiddos yet, she knows they are in God's plan for her. Accepting this and accepting her current journey has not been an easy path and she takes us through both the mental and emotional shifts that have gotten her to where she is today. One point both Alyssa and I wanted to drive home is SO many of us struggle with fertility or miscarriage and are looking for answers, but we think we are not entitled to these struggles or these feelings until an answer validates us... but that is not the case! Allow yourself to feel the emotions you are going through but something Alyssa has demonstrated SO well is that these struggles don’t define you. If you would like to follow Alyssa or reach out to her, she can be found on Instagram at @alyssajoygreene.If you would like to learn more about me or get in touch with me on other social media platforms, you can follow me on instagram @carlyanndell or you can visit my website to skim through some blogs, shop my favorites, grab some free shipping on products, and maybe look over a fitness guide or two at carlyanndell.com.
