Did you know we start off every recording with a clap? It’s designed to allow our audio editors to line up and synchronize the audio tracks.
Today, Anne and Jamie’s clap was … uhhhh … messy. At best.
But we kept it in, because it’s such a good example of being just a little out of sync or alignment. And many people on the emotional and physical journey of fertility treatment know what it feels like to just feel out of sync.
One way to start feeling better is, honestly, to take a break. Take some time off from fertility treatment – it can be a few weeks, a cycle or two, whatever amount of time you need – so you can come back ready, refocused, and with more resilience in your tank.
A break can also be a good time to check in with your partner(s) on this journey. It can be a time to ensure you’re fully listening to and understanding each other and “get your claps back in sync,” so to speak.
In case a trip to a warm beach or snowy mountaintop isn’t possible right now, Jaime is offering a meditation that will soothe and rejuvenate you. Listen along, breathe deeply, and come along on our gentle break.
