77 | From Desperation to Peace: A Biblical Framework for Women Waiting on a Baby

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

If you’ve tried everything to get pregnant—tracked ovulation, changed your diet, taken the supplements, followed the protocols—but your heart still feels heavy, this episode is for you. 💔

In today’s conversation, Courtney shares how The Waiting Well Framework™ was born out of her own season of infertility and heartbreak—and how it’s now helping women all over the world find peace, hope, and healing in their waiting.

You’ll learn why there are a million paths to try to have a baby, but so few that teach you how to heal the heart behind the hope. Courtney unpacks the 5 transformative phases of The Waiting Well Framework (Root, Release, Refine, Rebuild, and Rise) and shares real stories from women whose lives have been changed through this Christ-centered approach.

From shifting from anger to gratitude, replacing lies with truth, and learning to hear God’s voice again, this episode will remind you that your waiting isn’t wasted—it’s the very place where God is doing His deepest work.

Whether you’re walking through infertility, pregnancy loss, or a long season of unanswered prayers, this episode will help you:
✨ Find peace before the promise
✨ Heal emotionally and spiritually
✨ Rebuild your faith and trust in God’s timing

🎧 Tune in to discover how you can walk through your waiting season with purpose—and why investing in your heart is the most important step you can take.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why is God withholding this from me?” — this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Courtney exposes the one lie nearly every woman facing infertility believes: that God is holding back something good. Through honest storytelling and powerful Scripture, she helps you recognize that lie for what it is — and replace it with unshakable truth.

You’ll learn how to:
💔 Identify the subtle ways this lie creeps into your heart
📖 Anchor your hope in God’s character instead of your circumstances
🌿 Speak truth over your waiting season using Scripture
🙏 Shift your focus from what’s missing to what God is forming

God isn’t withholding something good — He’s preparing something greater.

Whether you’re in the middle of treatments, grieving loss, or simply wrestling with God’s timing, this episode will help you trade doubt for peace and reclaim joy in the middle of the wait.

🕊 If this episode spoke to something deep in your heart — if you know you’ve been carrying the weight of infertility alone and you’re ready to finally find peace, healing, and purpose in the middle of your waiting — I want to personally invite you into the next round of The Waiting Well Framework™, starting November 4th.
