In this conversation, Maria Mathis-Cruiser joins the host to share her profound journey through infertility, IVF, and the complexities of pregnancy, including the challenges of high-risk conditions like preeclampsia. With humor and heart, she discusses her experiences with care providers, the emotional toll of her journey, and the transformative power of motherhood. Maria's candid reflections and powerful writings offer insight into the struggles and triumphs of navigating motherhood amidst chaos.
Maria Mathis-Kruser is a Hill Country writer, artist, volunteer addict, chaos-wrangling rancher, and now a brand-new mom. The long road to Alice—infertility, IVF, a preeclampsia pivot, and a NICU season—gave her new grit and softer edges. She writes with humor and heart about choosing your best self, advocating kindly, and navigating postpartum without the shame spiral, all against the backdrop of ranch life where the goats are loud and the love is louder.
