I used to think I would be stuck in the muck and mud of infertility forever. I used to think the sadness, anxiety, and childlessness would eat me alive. Do you ever feel this way? Does it ever feel like there’s actually a light at the end of the tunnel?
The idea behind No Mud, No Lotus came from a book I read on transforming suffering. It’s an empowering concept where you take all of the crap you’re dealing with and use it for something good. Without the mud, there would be no lotus.
I know, I know – it can seem like a fluffy unicorn way of thinking, right? Though I don’t see anything inherently wrong with that type of thinking, it is a serious stretch to think that way when you’re in such a dark place.
However, if you have any interest in making your days a little less dark, your worries a little less needling, your sadness a little less heavy, and your hope the tiniest bit brighter PLEASE consider listening to this episode.
