Ep.9: What helped me through rough times: Books and movies for when life gets to heavy

When you’re walking through a rough phase in your life, grief, heartbreak, sometimes all you need is one thing: a companion that guides you through. In this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up about the books, movies, and songs that helped me survive one of the hardest seasons of my life — the loss of a pregnancy, the pain of failed IVF treatments, and the invisible weight of infertility grief. This episode isn’t about infertility struggles only though. Whatever you are going through, this episode might be helpful for you. This episode isn’t about self-help quick fixes. It’s a warm, vulnerable guide for anyone going through emotional pain, whether from infertility, loss, or any kind of heartbreak. I share the stories, pages, lyrics, and scenes that felt like warm blankets and cups of tea — the kind that let me cry, reflect, and slowly put myself back together. This episode is a love letter to anyone going through grief or dark seasons. You’ll find comfort here — and maybe the exact words, stories or lyrics that your soul needs to hear right now.
