The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility

Podkast av Courtney Duinker, Infertility Warrior, Wellness Coach, Mentor for TTC Women

Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why am I going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl. We’ve got some intentional growth to do.

64 | The ONE Feeling Every Woman Facing Infertility Struggles With (But Rarely Talks About)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the outside looking in — watching others step into the motherhood role you long for — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re naming the ache to belong that so many women silently carry during their fertility journey. From the pain of not holding the title “mom” yet, to the emotional weight of feeling left out of the motherhood community, we unpack how God wired us for connection — and how our truest belonging is found in Him, not in our circumstances. Courtney shares a raw personal story of uprooting her life from Maui to Texas and how it revealed deeper lessons about identity, grief, and grounding your worth beyond roles or recognition. Rooted in Scripture and full of practical encouragement, this episode offers a new way to see the season of waiting: not as punishment, but as an invitation to be anchored in God’s love. Whether you’re feeling overlooked, left out, or just deeply weary, this episode is a reminder: You already belong — because you are His. 🔗 Apply Now to Join The Waiting Well Framework! 💫 This Christ-centered 8-week mentorship is open for ongoing enrollment.
