About
Hi, I’m Lindsay!
I’m glad you’re here :)
After 7 years of infertility, 9 pregnancy losses, 3 rounds of IVF, and thousands if not millions of tears, I’ll never forget the moment I first laid eyes on my daughter and son when they were born and sound of the sweetest cries as they took their first breaths. I heard the sweetest. My reproductive story forever changed me, and through my story Catalyst for Courage was born with the hope of helping others find courage in the midst of their pain-filled journeys of suffering, grief, loss, and uncertainty after experiencing infertility and/or pregnancy or infant loss. I know how difficult the journeys of infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy after loss can be because I’ve lived them.
Fun Facts...
I’m a little bit of a nerd and am obsessed with Harry Potter! I live in the Upstate of SC with my husband, David, our twins Eleanor and Shepherd, and our two fur babies Layla and Bowman. On the weekends you may find us on the lake wakeboarding and waterskiing, hiking and adventuring, watching Harry Potter, or enjoying a family picnic in the park.
Currently...
I am probably sipping my 3rd or 4th cup of coffee of the day (I may have a tiny problem), wishing I could give you the biggest hug right now and tell you that you are not alone. I can relate to where you are right now, deep in the thick of it all, hoping/praying/waiting desperately for a miracle, or feeling just about ready to give up on hoping/praying/waiting altogether.
Nothing lights me up more than helping others with stories like mine to feel, own, and find courage in their journeys and feel less alone.
My hope...
is to help support you as you navigate your journey own journey of infertility, pregnancy/infant loss, or pregnancy after infertility or loss. My approach to coaching is to be a safe space for you to process whatever it is you’re going through in any stage of your reproductive journey. Maybe you’re about to start IVF. Maybe you just had another miscarriage. Maybe you just saw your very first positive pregnancy test after a long season of infertility. Maybe you just found out you’re pregnant again after a loss. Or maybe you don’t know what your next step is in your journey and you’re just feeling overwhelmed, stressed, defeated, or even hopeless. I would love to hear your story and learn how I can best support you on your journey. I know that no matter how difficult your journey has been, that it is possible to find yourself again, to have hope and feel joy again, and to love yourself and your life even in the midst of your journey. No matter what you’ve been through, you are deserving of support.
What people are saying.
“Lindsay’s journey has given my husband and I great hope after dealing with infertility and an unexpected miscarriage in late 2019. Lindsay has truly shown me how to have grace and patience when I really just want to be angry at the world for things I can’t control. Lindsay’s life and encouragement is a stepping stone for women everywhere struggling to find hope in their journey to become mothers.”
