I’ve always been fascinated by the depths of human resilience: the way people find strength in adversity, and the endurance they demonstrate through life’s toughest moments. One of the most profound and often hidden landscapes where this plays out is in the world of fertility.
This month, I had the privilege of speaking with Becky and Ben on their Fertility Spotlight podcast. Their story struck me deeply. Their journey was marked by devastating lows that unfolded over years, demanding unimaginable emotional strength.
What moved me most was not just what they went through, but how they kept going. As a coach, I’m always curious about the inner resources people draw upon in moments of turbulence. For Becky and Ben, their journey was a deeply human experience. One where hope, love, connection, and sometimes even humour were vital lifelines. Theirs is a story of the human capacity to endure, even when the path is anything but certain.
Listening to their reflections, I was reminded of the quiet power of perseverance and hope. It’s a reminder that even when outcomes are uncertain, the process itself can be filled with moments of meaning and growth.
Huge thanks to Becky and Ben for inviting me into such a vulnerable and vital conversation. I left the conversation full of admiration and even more committed to helping people explore and own their own resilience signatures.
