Comfort and Joy: Surviving “Announcement” Season, w/Natalie Blackford
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
This month, we warmly welcome new guest Natalie to the podcast to hear her story of unexplained secondary infertility. We talk about the upcoming holiday season and how pregnancy announcements can be especially difficult during this time. We share how God is helping us hold onto joy amidst the sorrow and pain we feel, and how He has a good plan for each of us and for everyone who struggles with infertility. We end with some practical tips, prayers, and ideas for navigating difficult moments of grief during this season of joy and announcements.

About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
It is an honor to walk with you! Visit us: www.springsinthedesert.org
