Emily is one of life’s unsung heroes. She is a coach (and quite frankly, one of the best out there!), a mum, a wife, an entrepreneur and an author.
On the surface, it all seems perfect. What many people don’t know is that shortly after getting married, she found out she had bowel cancer. Following that, she went on a difficult and traumatic fertility rollercoaster.
She talks to Zarrin about her journey. It’s moving, devastating, inspiring and hopeful. I guarantee you that if you stay to the end, you will be equally moved.
Here is something she wrote in 2018:
“Life is just one big way of learning isn’t it. It’s managing in the big and small moments. It’s finding peace even where it shouldn’t be. It’s being as truthful to ourselves and others as we can be. It’s finding strength when we crumble. It’s gaining a voice when we’re muted. It’s directing things so we feel a sense of control. It’s failing and succeeding in the least obvious ways.”

I recently tried the services of a Fertility Clinic in Surrey after finding them online, and I honestly felt quite reassured by the whole experience. From the beginning, the process felt professional and well-organized, and the team came across as very understanding and supportive. Everything was explained clearly, without too much medical jargon, which made it easier to feel comfortable asking questions. Overall, it felt like a place that genuinely cares about guiding people through their fertility journey with patience and expertise. http://lunafertility.co.uk/
