This week we chat to the lovely Charla who created @thegratefulheartsclub. She runs monthly gratitude workshops. Go check her out! She's doing 'grate' things ... (get it?) Having been on her own journey of infertility and loss she used gratitude to fight her way out of the darkness by embracing what she describes as 'crumbs of joy'. During the episode we touch on her experiences of loss and infertility. Not only did her daughter Olive tragically die during childbirth, but over a 6 year period she also had missed miscarriages, a diagnosis of unicornuate uterus and endometriosis, as well as 2 ectopic pregnancies, the latter of which involved removal of her only fallopian tube. She has been through so much yet continues to have such a positive outlook on life, she's quite frankly bloody inspirational! Charla has found her happy ending despite having empty arms and a heavy heart and we are absolutely certain that her story will provide some comfort and hope to others. We also talk a little about men and their emotions as well as boundaries and of course we have a little natter about the old ugly feels.--------------------------------This episode is sponsored by Fertility Circle an app to support anyone who is trying to conceive.
