124 | Another Year Has Passed… and You're Still Not Pregnant: 4 Heart Checks Before 2026 Ends

Did you enter 2026 believing this would finally be the year you'd get pregnant, only to find yourself facing another year of infertility and unanswered prayers? In today's episode, we're walking through four important heart checks to help you process the disappointment, examine where your hope is resting, and finish the year drawing closer to God—even if your circumstances haven't changed. Enrollment is officially OPEN for our FINAL Waiting Well Framework cohort of 2026! 🤍 If you're already dreading the pregnancy announcements in Christmas cards, the family gatherings where someone inevitably asks when you're having a baby, or the ache of realizing another Christmas is coming and you're still not pregnant… this invitation is for you. I don't want you to spend another holiday season just trying to survive the grief, comparison, jealousy, and disappointment that infertility can bring. Starting December 6, I'm walking alongside 20 women through an 8-week, Christ-centered discipleship experience designed to help you process the pain of infertility, find your identity beyond motherhood, and learn to experience genuine joy and peace in Christ—even while you're still waiting for the baby you've prayed for. You don't have to pretend you're okay. You don't have to force yourself to feel grateful when your heart is breaking. And you don't have to navigate another holiday season alone. Applications are NOW OPEN for just 20 spots in our final Waiting Well Framework Cohort of the year. 👉 Learn more + enroll here: https://stan.store/coduinker/p/the-wait-feels-endlessheres-the-way-through-copy Entering your Two Week Wait Window??
