Recently a patient (who is also a mother) made a comment about me having "everything together" as a working mom. While I did ultimately try to be a good shrink and explore the transference and her inner self-critic, I first lol’ed literally. “I wish. We’re all just throwing shit at a wall and trying to see what sticks” was my response.  This conversation inspired me to, in the name of transparency about the reality of being a modern working mom who has "everything together",

In July my beautiful second baby boy, Cooper Lee, came into the world and completed our family. He is our second IVF baby and truly felt like a miracle as our treatments for each boy resulted in multiple chemical pregnancies prior to conceiving. Cooper, as was Ollie, was actually our last embryo from our IVF cycle so in some ways he brought light when things felt hopeless. While we have been so lucky with the outcome of two healthy kids, I wouldn’t wish infertility on anyone.
