Have you or someone you care about struggled with infertility? It is not something that a lot of people talk about, but the struggle is very real. There is a lot of women who this is their reality. In addition, some of these women have had pregnancy losses in the middle of their infertility.
So I want to bring voice to this today– October 15th is pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day. I am excited to have Heather LaVigne on the podcast this week. Her book is called *Barren: A Shared Story of Infertility, Loss, and Faith. What I love is that she talks about women in the Bible who have also walked this hard road of infertility. She bring their stories along with her story and offers hope and wisdom to others.
Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Heather’s book: *Barren. All the details of the book giveaway are on my website at jodisnowdon.com. You can also click this direct link: https://kingsumo.com/g/3od97dm/barren-book-giveaway
