The two week wait can feel like an emotional battlefield — every twinge, every symptom, every day dragging by with anxious questions. But what if these 14 days could become holy ground instead of anxiety ground?
In today’s episode, I share my own experience with the two week wait, biblical truth that brings lasting peace, and 5 practical tools you can use right now to calm your spiraling thoughts, anchor your heart in God’s character, and breathe again in the waiting.
Whether this is your first cycle or your fifteenth, God has purpose in these days. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through them. You can walk with peace, surrender, and hope that doesn’t disappoint.
✨ Plus, I’m sharing an exciting announcement about my brand-new mini course, Peace in the Wait — created just for women in the two week wait after ovulation, IUI, or IVF. If you’re longing for daily encouragement and structure to stay grounded in truth, this will bless you deeply.
📖 Scriptures mentioned: Isaiah 26:3, Psalm 131:2
