In this episode of the Oasis Fertility Podcast, Kelly courageously shares her journey through infertility and miscarriage, shedding light on the emotional and physical challenges of loss and fertility challenges. She speaks from the heart about the isolation she felt, particularly when the support she needed wasn't readily available or understood by those around her. This journey led Kelly to the Butterfly Run, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals through pregnancy loss and infertility.K

Kelly, who now sits on the board of the Butterfly Run, has seen firsthand the incredible value of having resources and communities available to help people heal. She speaks passionately about the importance of having spaces where those grieving or navigating infertility can find understanding and support—whether through group counseling or one-on-one sessions. She reflects on how vital it is to have the opportunity to connect with others who truly know what you're going through.

The Butterfly Run is expanding to offer more support around infertility, and Kelly highlights how important it is for these services to evolve alongside the needs of individuals struggling with both loss and infertility. Kelly’s story is a reminder that while these experiences can feel incredibly isolating, there is hope in community, and organizations like the Butterfly Run play a crucial role in offering that connection.

Her journey also sheds light on the need for a greater awareness of women’s health, emphasizing how much more needs to be done to provide proper resources, understanding, and emotional support. Kelly’s reflections about her own family and her vision for a world where more women feel supported and understood are truly touching and inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder that healing can begin with finding those who truly understand—and that no one has to go through this alone.
