The second Thursday of each month, I lead an infertility support group as a peer leader. I'm not a mental health professional but after working seven years in higher education and working daily with students, I've learned the art of compassionate listening and empowering … Read More »

Living a Fertile Life: January Recap
I feel like I blinked and January was gone. Why I've Been Somewhat Off the Radar To say it's been busy around these parts is kind of an understatement. Between building a new website for RESOLVE New England and building two more of my own, I've had a lot on my plate. Not to … Read More »
A Chronic Illness Confessional
This is a difficult post to write today. Living with a chronic illness is not easy. This post isn't about the Pain Olympics. I'm not here to say that one chronic illness is worse than another. It's just like our infertility diagnoses; there isn't truly one that's "worse" than … Read More »
Turning Points in My Infertility Journey

Clarity of Purpose and Living Fearlessly
Hi, I'm Keiko and I am a habitual self-saboteur. ("Hi, Keiko.") I have always found it easier to walk away from the opportunity and know that I came out on my own terms than at the mercy of failure. This is the justification I've told myself for years. It's easier than saying … Read More »
Letting Go of Our Babymakin’ Fantasies
Sorry to be such a downer recently, but I walked away from this blog for over a week and now that I'm back, I'm returning to it for the very reasons I started it in the first place: it's a place of catharsis for me. I'm struggling with the holidays this year. Part of it comes … Read More »
